Method
 

  1. Marinate the flank steak by mixing olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the steak evenly and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
  3. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. Prepare the salsa verde by blending tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble the burritos by placing a portion of rice, black beans, sliced steak, cheese, and salsa verde in the center of each tortilla. Optionally add sour cream.
  6. Roll the burrito tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling. Grill the assembled burritos seam-side down for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Slice the burritos in half and serve with additional salsa verde and garnishes like cilantro and lime wedges.
