Discover a delicious and easy recipe for Grilled Steak and Chimichurri Tortilla Wraps, perfect for a quick lunch or a flavorful dinner. This dish combines tender grilled steak with vibrant chimichurri sauce, all wrapped in a soft tortilla for a portable meal.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 pound of flank steak or sirloin
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh chimichurri sauce
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for grilling
Preparing the Steak
Start by seasoning the steak with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush with a little olive oil. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Making the Chimichurri
If you prefer homemade chimichurri, blend together:
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed for a vibrant, tangy sauce.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a generous spoonful of chimichurri over the center. Add slices of grilled steak, then top with sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the wraps immediately with extra chimichurri on the side. They pair well with a light salad or grilled vegetables. For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.
