Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 pound each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or hot)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Let the ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the steaks.
- In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time as needed. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes.
- If not already cooked, prepare the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine black beans and corn. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds.
- On each tortilla, add 1/4 cup of rice, followed by 1/4 cup of the black beans and corn mixture, 1/4 of the sliced ribeye steak, a handful of shredded cheese, a few slices of avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and heat over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- For extra crispy burritos, place them in a preheated oven at 400°F for a few minutes.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite ingredients, such as sautéed peppers or different types of cheese.
- Serve with lime wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
