I recently had a delicious steak burrito from Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurant and wanted to make my own at home. This is a copycat recipe for the Qdoba steak marinade. This marinade uses ingredients such as lime and orange juice, as well as cilantro, chipotle chili peppers are various seasonings. You can cook the steak either on the stovetop or on an outdoor grill. For the best results, an outdoor grill would be the best option. The steak can be used for tacos or burritos. The burrito in the pictures is loaded with this steak, queso, cilantro-lime rice, lettuce, tomato, and black beans. Enjoy.
