Surf and turf burritos

Sometimes French fries are used to create this burrito, but I feel that it overpowers the beef and shrimp. The burrito is then topped with Mexican white cheese, Haas avocado, and rolled into a flour tortilla. The wrapped burrito is then grilled to a golden brown, helping melt the cheese. This is without a doubt one of the best tasting burrito recipes you will find.

STEAK & SHRIMP TACOS W/ CREAMY LIME AVOCADO SAUCE

Image
  Ingredients Flank or Skirt steak Raw shrimp Yellow corn tortillas (mission brand @ Walmart) Red onion Tomato Avocado Cilantro Lime Olive oil Plain Greek yogurt 3 blend Mexican cheese Shrimp I seasoned with old bay, coriander, black pepper, and fine pink sea salt. I seared them in unsalted butter. Steak I seasoned with black pepper, onion and garlic powder, tony Chachere's and taco seasoning, and 1/2 lime faced down. I prepared it in the slow cooker on low and it was the shit!!! 🔥 Don't skip this step and try to sear your steak you will dry it out. Sauce Put 1 avocado, greek yogurt, the juice from 1/2 lime, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the processor until smooth. I don’t measure so just play with your sauce until it’s how you like it. I highly recommend getting a cast-iron skillet or griddle for frying your shells if you don’t have one. Cast iron holds heat well and even if your burner is off your shells will still cook.
