Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 pounds sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1/2 jar roasted red peppers, drained, julienned
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, mashed
Instructions
- For the sauce: Mix the ingredients until well combined.
- For the Philly-Rito!: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the sirloin and garlic powder and saute another 3 minutes. Fold in the cheeses to melt. Add the roasted red peppers and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas 1 at a time. Hold warm under a towel. To form the Philly-Rito!, spread a spoonful of the avocado onto a tortilla, top with a quarter of the meat and roll it up like a burrito. Serve with the sour cream sauce.

Reviews
Too much salt in the cilantro sauce. Will try 1/2 tsp next time. Otherwise, it was good.
This wasn’t near as wonderful as I was hoping. I suspect one of the reasons could be the instructions don’t match what I remember from the show, nor what I see in the picture above. The meat is totally lost in the melted cheeses. The picture doesn’t show melted cheese but rather shows it added to the sandwich separate. If I make this again, I will try it that way. My husband did love the cilantro sauce and I loved the bite of avocado in the sandwich, but overall we were disappointed,
I was disappointed. It was very very rich and the American cheese just made the whole thing have that processed flavor that I would expect out of fast food and not a fresh home meal. Based on the previous reviews I even used a lot less cheese.
Made this tonight, hubby loved it. I did not use as much cheese as suggested and I also substituted sharp cheddar for the american.cheese. I also added jalapeno slices for some heat..
Good job Vic, this is a keeper.

This was delicious and my husband loved it. He had a happy plate – LOL and said to definitely make again. I didn’t use the avocado nor the american cheese and we also added some jalapenos on the side to give it a kick. Great recipe Vic!
I would love to make this but I am kinda confused if someone could tell me. When I was watching this I seen him with jalapeno peppers. But I dont see on recipe. Could someone help
OMG!!!!! If you do not make this you would be crazy!!!! It is AWESOME!!!! It will be a staple in my recipe file for my remaining days!!!! Then passed on down to our future generations …and so on…and so on =0!!!! YUMMY!!! Way to go Vic!!!! This house hope you win the whole darn thing!!! Thanks for the delicious eats!!!!
I thought it was amazing
Loved this. We were on a w/e RV trip-had steaks the night before, so made this philly-rito the next day using left over sliced steak. I did reduce the cheese-used mexican style shredded cheese with a few cheddar slices. Sauce was awesome. I added a few pickled jalapenos to the sauce.Husband is still talking about the sandwich.
This was fantastic! Next time I would probably reduce the cheese by half, or increase the steak by a pound. But it still was delicious!
