San Diego’s Famous Carne Asada California Burrito Recipe

Step 1

Place meat and all marinade ingredients in a large bowl or sealable plastic bag. Mix to coat. Marinate for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.

Step 2

Bake the French fries according to package directions.

Step 3

While the fries bake, smash the avocado flesh, and gently mix with the remaining crema ingredients. Cover and set in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the burritos.

Step 4

Cook the meat to desired temperature. This can be done in a large cast iron skillet on the stove or grill over medium heat.

Step 5

To assemble, warm the tortillas and then add a layer of sliced steak, cheese, French fries, Mt. Olive Peppers, a spoonful of the Avocado Crema, a sprinkle of cilantro and green onions. Fold into a burrito shape. Repeat until all tortillas have been used. If desired, sear the exterior tortilla of each burrito in a frying pan until browned. Enjoy immediately.
