Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 unit jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 units large romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 unit red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 unit avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 4 units radishes, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, coconut aminos, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature while the grill heats up. Discard the marinade.

Step 4

Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 5

To assemble the burritos, place two large romaine lettuce leaves slightly overlapping on a plate. Layer with a few slices of carne asada, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and radishes.

Step 6

Fold the edges of the lettuce leaves over the filling and roll up into a burrito shape. Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo carne asada burrito!
