1.	With fork, pierce beef several times on both sides. In shallow nonmetal dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all remaining beef ingredients. Add beef; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
2.	In small nonmetal bowl, mix all salsa ingredients until blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors.
3.	Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Wrap tortillas in heavy-duty foil.

Did You Know?

Jicama is related to the sharp-tasting turnip, but it is very mild in flavor and packs an inviting crunch in the fresh salsa. Peel the brown outer skin, and then chop the white flesh. Tomatillos are green vegetables that look like cherry tomatoes. They come in husks, so remove the husks and rinse off any sticky residue before chopping.

Time Saver

Although the flavor may not be as refreshing, you can serve any favorite salsa with these burritos.
