Mar & Tierra Prep
Salt the exterior of the two steaks liberally and leave on a plate to dissolve the salt and allow the meat to come to temperature
In a large bowl add all the ingredients of the Cilantro shrimp, stir to combine, and let marinate while you prepare other elements of the burrito
Toppings Prep
Shred the green cabbage as fine as you can
Mix lime juice and salt into the freshly shredded cabbage
Dice the tomatoes, and salt them, place them in a mesh strainer and allow access moisture to leak off of them
Shred Monterrey jack cheese, set aside
Green Creama Creating
Add the Cilantro, Green Onions, Garlic Cloves, and jalapeño to a food processor
Pulse until well chopped
Add the remaining ingredients of the green creama and pulse to combine
Salt to taste and set aside (will last for a week plus in the fridge)
Clean out the food processor as it has double duty with the salsa coming up
Roasting Veggies & Making Salsa
Prep and get a hot fire on a charcoal grill going
Place the red, yellow, and orange peppers in a bowl along with the Jalapeño, coat them evenly with olive oil and salt
In a grill basket add the cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves, coat similarly in olive oil and salt
Head to the hot grill and place the peppers directly over the coals, and the grill basket close to them, with the garlics placed closest to the heat
Blacken the peppers on all sides and place into a bowl covering immediately so the peppers can sweat
Allow the garlic and the tomatoes to brown and blister and then dump the grill basket directly into an awaiting food processor
When the peppers have cooled a bit, peel the blackened skin off the exterior, cut off the tops and remove the seeds from the inside
Add the peppers to the garlic and tomatoes in the food processor along with the remaining olive oil
Pulse just a few times to try and preserve a bit of a chunky texture to the salsa
Salt to taste, and finish with a little squeeze of lime juice
Grill El Mar y La Tierra
On the same hot grill, land the two steaks direct over the coals, and place the shrimp in a grill basket evenly spread placed slightly off the heat
The shrimp will go fast, a minute or two a side if the grill is hot
The steaks should be quick as well, about 3-4mins a side, be sure to cover the grill if a lot of flame ups are happening
Place the shrimp into a bowl, and pull the steaks off the grill
While the steaks rest you can peel the shells of the shrimp and cut each shrimp into thirds
Once the steaks have rested about 5 minutes or so cut them into 1/2 or so cubes
Build the Burrito
Heat a pan on medium low, with a pad of butter in it
Microwave a tortilla for 10-15 seconds to soften it’s texture
Lay the tortilla out and spread a generous amount of cheese on the base
Nestle Steak and Shrimp a top the cheese
Then a good layer of cabbage and tomatoes on top of that
Finally line the roasted salsa, and the creama on either side of the cabbage
Roll the burrito tightly and place in the hot butter awaiting pan
Toast each side of the burrito until brown
Serve the burrito and top with extra salsa and creama as you hold hot heaven in your hand
Also works well as a taco! Place the tortilla with cheese a top in the pan, allow the tortilla to brown and the cheese to melt and then top with all the fixings
