💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Heat your cast-iron skillet to 450-500°F before adding steak cubes to achieve proper Maillard browning in the short 5-7 minute cook time without overcooking the interior.technique450-500°F
- ✓Marinate steak cubes for exactly 30-45 minutes maximum because the acidic lemon juice will begin to denature proteins beyond this point, creating a mushy texture.timing30-45 minutes
- ✓Cut steak cubes to uniform ¾-inch pieces so they cook evenly and reach medium doneness (135°F internal) simultaneously in the 5-7 minute sear time.technique¾-inch pieces
- ✓Warm wraps in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side until they reach 140°F internal temperature, which activates gluten proteins making them more pliable and less likely to crack.timing15-20 seconds, 140°F
- ✓Add salt to your avocado mash at a 0.5% ratio by weight to prevent enzymatic browning and enhance flavor without making it too salty for the wrap.ingredient0.5% by weight
