Pairing Suggestions

Sparkling Water with Lime: A refreshing, calorie-free option that complements the bold flavors of the burrito without adding any carbs.
Dry Red Wine: If you’re in the mood for an alcoholic beverage, a glass of dry red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot pairs well with the savory beef and spices.
Cauliflower Rice: A low-carb alternative to traditional rice, cauliflower rice can be seasoned with lime and cilantro for a zesty side dish.

Special Tip

To enhance the flavor and ensure even cooking, let the seasoned roast beef marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat more thoroughly, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
