Carne Asada Burrito
Grilled steak, cilantro-lime rice, black beans and pico.
Maui's an app that plans a whole week of dinners like this one. See how it works ↓
Don't overstuff - burritos that split open in the pan are burritos with too much rice. Save half the filling for taco-shaped seconds.

Instructions
Knife work first, then the stove. Nothing below asks you to chop while something burns.
- Mince 4 garlic cloves. Juice 2 lime; cut 1 lime into wedges.
- Finely dice tomatoes, ½ medium onion, and the jalapeño for pico. Chop cilantro.
- Drain and rinse black beans.
Marinate
Whisk juice of limes, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, olive oil, and salt. Pour over steak. Rest 20 min at room temp.

5 min · hands onGrill steak
Heat cast iron over high. Sear steak 3-4 min per side for medium-rare. Rest 5 min on cutting board, then slice against grain, then chop.
12 min · hands onWarm tortillas
Warm flour tortillas 20 sec per side in a dry skillet until pliable.
2 min · hands onRoll
Lay tortilla flat. Layer rice, beans, steak, pico in a line just below center. Fold sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Optional: sear seam-side down 1 min for color.
4 min · hands onMake it yours
Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.
Flank is thicker - grill 5 min per side. Adds about 2 minutes.
Grill caps 4 min per side; slice for filling.
Skip the wrap; serve as a bowl. Saves about 3 minutes.
Use 2 per portion, soft-taco style; warm before filling.
What keeps
Marinate steak and cook rice/beans ahead. Grill and roll day-of.
Wrapped burritos can be foil-wrapped and griddled the next day in a pinch.
