Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 large Whole wheat tortillas
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup Brown rice, cooked
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

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

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay out a whole wheat tortilla and spread 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt down the center.

Step 8

Layer onto the yogurt with a few slices of steak, a tablespoon of chopped cilantro, a spoonful of diced tomato, shredded romaine lettuce, a scoop of cooked brown rice, and a portion of black beans.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll up from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 11

Serve immediately or wrap the burritos individually in foil for an on-the-go meal.
