Ingredients
- 4 large gluten-free flour tortillas
- 1 pound carne asada steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooking oil for frying
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by marinating the carne asada. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the carne asada steak and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2
2. Meanwhile, prepare the fries. Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin sticks. Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
Step 3
3. While the fries are cooking, prepare the guacamole. In a separate bowl, mash the avocados and mix in lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated carne asada steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Step 5
5. To assemble the burritos, warm the gluten-free tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
Step 6
6. Place some sliced carne asada in the center of each tortilla, followed by a handful of fries, a couple of tablespoons of guacamole, a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7
7. Top with fresh cilantro and roll up the burrito tightly, folding in the sides as you go to enclose the filling.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your Gluten-Free California Burrito!
