    Absolutely delicious! My only tweak would be to half the lemon in the pico and guacamole. But other than that, this is the carne Asada burrito I grew up on in San Diego. I also didnt add the jalepeno but that was only because I didnt have it on hand. Im a sucker for tender meat so I got boneless ribeye steak and cut it super thin and small. It was so tender and amazing. I will forever use this recipe. I miss my San Diego carne asada. But not anymore!

    Carne Asada Burrito, San Diego Style,For all of you poor, displaced San Diego-ites, the quest to find an authentic carne asada burrito is always disappointing, until now. This recipe was posted on Onestopcook.com by David. (I only added the limes) It’s been over 4 years since I was in S.D. last and I have been craving this burrito ever since. I ate 5 of these bad boys in 2 days. I would take a bite, close my eyes, and dream of La Jolla, Balboa park or a stroll around Seaport Village. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.,Absolutely delicious! My only tweak would be to half the lemon in the pico and guacamole. But other than that, this is the carne Asada burrito I grew up on in San Diego. I also didnt add the jalepeno but that was only because I didnt have it on hand. Im a sucker for tender meat so I got boneless ribeye steak and cut it super thin and small. It was so tender and amazing. I will forever use this recipe. I miss my San Diego carne asada. But not anymore!,This recipe is spot on. Moved out of SD several years ago and am saddened by what passes for a good carne asada burrito outside of SD. Thank you for posting this. Planning to make it again tonight for my husband.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Meat:

    2
    Done

    Lay the Meat Out Flat and Season Liberally With Salt and Pepper. Cut Meat Into 1/4 Inch Pieces. Place Meat in a Zip Lock Bag and Add Fine Diced Onions and Lemon/Lime Juices. Mix Well and Refrigerate For at Least 30 Min., Up to 24 Hours.

    3
    Done

    Pico De Gallo:

    4
    Done

    Fine Dice All Ingredients and Mix Well. Cover and Refrigerate, Stir Occasionally.

    5
    Done

    Guacamole:

    6
    Done

    Place Avocado Meat in a Bowl and Mash Well With a Fork, Season to Taste by Adding Remaining Ingredients. Cover With Plastic Wrap, Pressing Plastic Down on the Guacamole to Remove Any Air, and Refrigerate. (this Prevents Browning).

    7
    Done

    Carne Asada Burritos:

    8
    Done

    Warm the Tortillas in a Microwave Under a Wet Paper Towel, One at a Time. (about 20-30 Sec.) or Wrap Tortillas in Foil and Place in the Oven at 350 For 10-15 Minute You Want Them Warm and Pliable For Wrapping.

    9
    Done

    on High Heat Add a Teaspoon of Oil to a Medium Sized Skillet. ( I Prefer Cast Iron) When Oil Begins to Smoke Add 1/4 to 1/3 Pound of Carne Asada Meat and Onions. Sear the Meat Until Brown on Both Sides. Place the Meat and Onions in the Center of a Warm Tortilla. Add Pico De Gallo, Guacamole, (and French Fries and/or Cheeses If Desired) and Fold in the Sides to Form a Burrito. Serve Hot.

    10
    Done

    Note: Meat Seems to Cook Best in Small Batches, It Gets Chewy If Cooked All at Once. I Cook Enough For Just One or Two Burritos at a Time.
