Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 large Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, coconut aminos, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is well-coated. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or until desired doneness is achieved.

Step 4

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

To assemble the burrito, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves and layer with sliced steak, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

Step 6

Roll the lettuce leaf gently to encase the fillings and enjoy your Whole30 Carne Asada Burrito immediately.
