Ingredients

• 1 pound sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cooked farro or quinoa
• 4 whole wheat tortilla
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 lime wedges
• 0 to taste sea salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the steak. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Rub this marinade onto the sirloin steak and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Add the sliced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize.

Step 5

In the same skillet, push the vegetables to the side and add the marinated steak.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 8

To assemble the burritos, lay each whole wheat tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cooked farro or quinoa onto each one.

Step 9

Top with slices of steak, cooked vegetables, avocado, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 10

Sprinkle fresh cilantro over each burrito and squeeze a lime wedge for added zing.

Step 11

Roll up each tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom up. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side.
