Ingredient Notes

  • Tortillas: large burrito-size flour tortillas. Use whole wheat or gluten-free, if it’s how you roll.
  • Carne Asada: use our classic grilled carne asada or slow cooker carne asada recipe.
  • Cheese: shredded Mexican blend, plain cheddar, or whatever melty cheese you prefer.
  • Mexican Rice: can prepare fresh or use leftover homemade rice. You can swap with Spanish rice, box Mexican rice, or brown rice.
  • Pico de Gallo: or salsa.
  • Sour Cream: whole fat, low fat, or swap for greek yogurt.
  • Guacamole: store-bought, or go for homemade.
  • Cilantro and Onion: both are in pico de gallo, but you can add more to taste. You can load on other veggies here as well! Try shredded lettuce, pickled jalapeños, or pickled red onion.

Chef’s Tips

  • Don’t overload your tortilla. If you need to use less quantity than the recipe card states because tortillas are smaller, then do so.
  • Add the meat when it is nice and hot so the cheese can melt into it. If using leftovers you can briefly reheat them in the microwave first.
  • Make sure the steak is cut against the grain for the best chew.
  • Drain any excess juice from the salsa and other veggies so they don’t drip all over.
  • Add ingredients evenly across the tortillas so you get bit of everything in each bite.
