Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
Mix the 2 tbsp lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cumin, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1/2 tsp salt in a dish. Add the steak, turn to coat and marinate for 30-60 min.
- 2
Heat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F). Spread the fries on a baking sheet and bake as the package directs, 20-25 min, until crisp.
- 3
Mash the avocado with the 1 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt. Leave it slightly chunky.
- 4
Mix the tomato, onion and half of the cilantro with a pinch of salt for the pico de gallo.
- 5
Heat a cast-iron pan until smoking. Pat the steak dry and brush the pan with the remaining oil.
- 6
Sear the steak 3-4 min per side, until charred outside and medium inside. Rest it for 5 min.
- 7
Slice the steak across the grain, then chop it into small pieces.
- 8
Warm each tortilla for 20 seconds per side in a dry pan or over a gas flame until soft and pliable.
- 9
Spread each tortilla with sour cream and guacamole, leaving a 5 cm (2 in) border. Lay a row of steak down the center and top with a layer of hot fries.
- 10
Scatter the cheddar, pico de gallo and the rest of the cilantro over the fries.
- 11
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Sear the burrito seam-side down in the pan for 1 min to seal and melt the cheese. Serve right away.
