Preheat the oven to 425°F then line 2 sheet trays with parchment paper
Put the jalapenos and onions on one tray, drizzle with olive oil and add a pinch of salt. Roast them for 20-25 minutes
Remove them from the oven and blend them in the food processor with the garlic, lime juice and salt
Stir that mixture into the sour cream and set aside
Making the Guacamole
Mash the avocados, lime and salt together in a medium bowl with a fork
Add the red onion, tomato, garlic and cilantro. Mix well and set aside
Baking the Fries
Add the fries to the other sheet tray and bake according to package instructions
Remove them from the oven then add cotija and taco seasoning
Making the Carne Asada
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil
Season the steak and add it to the pan, leaving it untouched for 2 minutes. Stir and cook steak to desired doneness
Building the Burritos
Warm the tortillas in a large skillet over low-medium heat with non-stick cooking spray just until pliable. About 10 seconds
Spread the burrito shells out over a flat surface with room to work
Layer the ingredients in the center of the tortilla starting with the guacamole
Add the sour cream, then cheese then fries
Top the fries with salsa then add the steak
Fold both sides of the tortilla in then start rolling with the side that is closest to you and roll it away from you to form a burrito. Make sure to keep the edges tucked in during rolling so the ingredients don't fall out
Serve immediately
Notes
Warm your tortilla before filling and rolling them so they don't rip. I just heat a skillet over low - medium heat, spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray then warm each side so that they're pliable
If you're not able to find skirt steak then you can use flank steak or ribeye. Ground beef is not recommended for this California style burrito
If you like things spicy then grab your favorite hot sauce. I always have lots of hot sauce on hand for every meal
This can be made into a vegetarian option by leaving out the steak. Still very delicious
If you're not fond of sharp cheddar and pepper jack then any blend can be used. I often see people use a Mexican cheese blend. It's personal preference
For this California Burrito recipe I prefer to pre-cut my steak into small pieces while raw then season and blend. If you prefer to cut the steak after it's cooked that is fine just remember to let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. Also remember to cut the steak against the grain in thin slices to keep it tender
Make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the skirt steak. This will give you a nice sear and flavor on the meat
The jalapeno sour cream can be made up to 3 days ahead of time
