Ingredients

• 1 pound steak (sirloin or flank)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 leaves romaine lettuce (large leaves)
• 1 whole avocado (sliced)
• 1 whole red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 whole red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
• 0.25 cup salsa (Paleo-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Place the steak on a cutting board and pat it dry with a paper towel. Trim any excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly on both sides of the steak. Let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Once rested, thinly slice the steak against the grain.

Step 6

Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Lay the leaves flat to form your burrito wraps.

Step 7

To assemble each burrito, place a few slices of steak on the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with avocado slices, red bell pepper strips, red onion, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the sides of the lettuce leaf and roll it up to create a burrito shape. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Paleo steak burritos!
