  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1¾ cup chicken stock
Add 8 ounces of tomato sauce and 1 3/4 cups chicken stock to the rice and bring to a boil, stirring so it does not stick.

  • cumin
  • garlic powder

Mix cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, a good pinch of salt and lots of black pepper; oil the ribeye lightly and season it aggressively.
Sear in a hot cast iron pan with a little extra oil and a weight on top, turning every minute and a half or two minutes, until blackened and around 125 degrees inside for medium rare.
Rest 10 minutes, then slice thin.
  • 1 whole tortilla
  • shredded Monterey Jack
On a warm tortilla, layer rice, steak, refried beans and shredded Monterey Jack, then roll.
Building the burrito
  • green enchilada sauce
Coat the bottom of a baking dish with green enchilada sauce, set the burrito seam side down, coat the top with more sauce and add cheese.
Bake in about a 400 degree oven 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through and melty.
Add a little more enchilada sauce and cheese and broil about 30 seconds to crisp.
  • cilantro
  • green onion
Finish with cilantro and green onion.
