Fry the Beef

Make the Burritos

1. Cut 2 avocados into strips, then reserve.

The avocado is cut at the end because it oxidizes rapidly.

2. Heat in the microwave 1 cup of refried beans for approximately 1½ minutes, until they are well heated; then reserve.
3. Heat on a griddle over medium heat 1 extra-large flour tortilla for about 30 seconds per each side, until it is well heated.
4. Remove the tortilla from the griddle and smear on the tortilla’s center, with a spoon, some of the refried beans that were heated. Also put on the tortilla the following ingredients in the same order as given:

• Some Grated Cheese that melts.
• Some of the Grilled Steak dices that were cooked.
• Some of the Onion dices that were cut.
• Some dices of the Tomatoes that were cut.
• Some strips of the Avocados that were chopped.
• Some of the Lettuce strips that were chopped.
• 1 pinch of Salt.

The cheese is placed in-between the warm beans and the warm beef so the heat of these 2 ingredients will melt the cheese.

5. Fold the tortilla ends inwards and then roll the grilled steak burrito as taco; then serve it.
6. Repeat the same procedure with other 5 extra-large flour tortillas.
