Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas, 12 inch
- 1 1/2 lb skirt steak
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 lb frozen crinkle-cut french fries
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack
- 1 1/4 cups guacamole
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo
Before you cook
- Mince the garlic.
- Whisk the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper together in a shallow dish.
- Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Steps
- Spread the frozen fries on a sheet pan in a single layer and bake for 22 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and crisp.
- Sprinkle the fries with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and leave them on the pan.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it shimmers.
- Lift the steak from the marinade, shake off the excess, and lay it in the skillet.
- Sear the steak for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Move the steak to a cutting board and rest it for 8 minutes.
- Chop the steak into rough 1/2-inch pieces, cutting across the grain.
- Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for 20 seconds a side.
- Lay a line of fries down the center of a tortilla, top with chopped steak, and scatter on the cheese while everything is hot.
- Add guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo on top of the cheese.
- Fold in the sides, roll the burrito up tightly, and set it seam side down.
- Toast each finished burrito seam side down in the dry skillet for 90 seconds to seal it, then serve at once.
