I’ve been in the mood for steak lately so I’m bringing you another steak recipe today! This time it’s for copycat steak burritos, inspired by that famous chain of fast Mexican food restaurants called Chipotle. While these burritos don’t taste identical to the Chipotle version, they’re easy and super scrumptious and will satisfy any burrito craving. Plus you can customize these anyway you want!
I have to say, Chipotle is kind of our guilty pleasure. There are so many locations just minutes from us and it’s not quite as guilt-inducing as many other fast food joints. Granted, the serving sizes as Chipotle are probably way too big for most people but they use quality fresh ingredients. The only negative is that it can get pretty pricey, especially if you’re feeding a family of hungry eaters. That’s why I wanted to share this homemade copycat recipe, complete with a video to show you exactly how these are made. There’s a few different components of this recipe, but all of them are simple and can be made ahead of time.
What is your eating-out guilty pleasure?
Copycat Steak Burritos
Ingredients
For the steak:
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
For the pico:
- 4 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
For the rice:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice, warm
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the burritos:
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 (15 ounce) can low sodium black beans, rinsed, drained, and warmed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
For the steak:
- In a small bowl combine the oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chile powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste. Rub the steak all over with the vegetable oil then sprinkle with the spice mixture, pressing it into the steak. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
For the pico:
- In a small bowl combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the rice:
- Place the cooked rice in a medium bowl and toss with the lime juice, vegetable oil, cilantro, and salt.
Cook the steak:
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Cut the slices into smaller chunks.
To assemble:
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Place about 1/2 cup of rice over each tortilla, top with the steak, beans, and sour cream. Fold the long side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the sides in. Roll the burrito away from you, making sure to roll as tightly as possible. Serve.
Holy moley!!

The hubs and I also LOVE Chipotle. I am pretty sure that he could live there and be one happy man.
And, these burritos are going to make him just that: one happy man!
