Notes

Can't find skirt steak? this taste just as good with flank steak or bavette cut.
You can find our pico de gallo recipe here and Guacamole recipe here
This recipe calls for a serving size of 2, but you can stretch it to four. If you want a fully loaded burrito, which is all we know around here, then I'd recommend this recipe as is. It's perfect for two.
