Unbelievably great! We did not put the beans in the burrito as the recipe states but instead made a quick fresh guacamole with avocados, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Served it all in some corn tortillas with a bit of jack cheese and/or sour cream. Marinated the flap steak for 24 hours though - it needed this long to properly absorb the marinade flavors. The salsa was so fresh and really was key to making these so delicious.

Ingredients
- MARINADE
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound flap meat* or skirt steak
- SALSA
- 3 cups finely chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced serrano chiles
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ASSEMBLY
- 4 large (13 in.) flour tortillas, warmed
- 3 cups drained and warmed canned pinto beans
Preparation
- 1. Make marinade: Mix all ingredients together and pour over meat in a shallow dish. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours ahead.
- 2. Make salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally while you cook meat.
- 3. Prepare a grill for high heat (450° to 550°; you can hold your hand 5 in. above cooking grate only 2 to 4 seconds). Cook meat 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest on a cutting board, covered with foil, for 15 minutes. Chop meat into 1/2-in. pieces.
- 4. Assemble burritos: Lay 1 tortilla on a work surface. In the center, arrange 3/4 cup beans, 1/2 cup salsa, and 1/2 cup meat. Roll burrito up, folding sides in over filling. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve burritos with remaining salsa.
- *Buy flap meat (also called flap steak or bavette), a thin, flat piece of beef from the flank area, at Latino markets.
