Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean flank steak
• 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Black beans, canned, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Cooked brown rice
• 1 large Avocado, diced

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring even coating. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness.

Step 4

4. Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

5. Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until they are pliable.

Step 6

6. To assemble each burrito, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of black beans, 1/4 cup of brown rice, a few slices of grilled steak, some diced avocado, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Step 7

7. Add diced tomato and red onion on top, then drizzle with a tablespoon of Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of salsa.

Step 8

8. Roll up the burrito by folding in the sides and rolling the tortilla from bottom to top, enclosing the filling tightly.

Step 9

9. Repeat for the remaining burritos and serve immediately.
