Pro Tips for the Best Steak Burrito

• The right steak will deliver the best results. Flank or skirt steak is my favorite because of its flavor and tenderness. Although, some use sirloin or ribeye as well.
• Ensure you pat your steak dry before cooking. It helps the seasoning to stay in place, prevents moisture from forming on your steak, and ensures a juicy interior.
• Feel free to add toppings. It takes the flavor up a notch.
