Instructions

Trim some fat on the underside of flank steak and generously season with salt.
Grill and sear quickly on high heat depending on your preference (rare, medium or medium-well).
Slice and dice flank steak against the grain.
If you like, warm tortilla in the microwave covered with damp paper towel or cloth for 15 seconds or until warm.

Wrap Burrito

On a flat surface, lay flour tortilla. Place just enough filling (not a lot) flank steak, red onion, cilantro, mozzarella cheese and some salsa if you like just below the center of tortilla towards you. Note: Too much filling will be hard to wrap.
Fold the the tortilla towards filling, then fold the 2 sides and roll tightly.
Serve with red or green salsa, tortilla chips, refried beans or Mexican-style rice. Enjoy!

Notes

If you like bigger burrito, use the 20 oz 8 count large flour tortillas.
If you love red onion, cilantro or cheese, you can add more to my recipe. I do.
You can serve all the ingredients buffet style for big gatherings.
To keep flour tortillas warm place, it in a plastic tortilla warmer container wrapped in a damp paper towel or cloth or in a slow cooker, set to low.
Store leftover burrito in an airtight container for about 3 days in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave for 20 seconds or until warm. You may also wrap burrito in a food saver or in heavy foil and freeze for a month. Thaw in fridge and warm in the microwave.
