1/4 cup chopped cilantro (for marinade)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne powder

2–3 medium limes, juiced (for guacamole)
Large flour tortillas

Pico de gallo
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Sour cream, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine beef broth, lime juice, cilantro, soy sauce, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt in a bowl or bag.
- Add skirt steaks, coat well, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat grill to high heat (about 400°F).
- Remove steaks from marinade and grill for 2–2.5 minutes per side until about 120°F internal temperature.
- Remove steak from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare guacamole by mixing avocados, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until combined.
- Warm tortillas over direct flame or in a dry skillet.
- Slice steak against the grain into bite-size pieces.
- Assemble burritos by layering guacamole, steak, pico de gallo, fries, and cheese on tortillas.
- Roll burritos tightly and crisp on a skillet or plancha for about 1 minute per side.
- Serve hot with sour cream on the side.
Notes
Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
Cook fries extra crispy so they hold up inside the burrito.
Overnight marinating yields the best flavor.
Burritos are best enjoyed fresh.
