Mexicali Burritos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Place pork roast in a large Dutch oven.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix well.
• Cover and bake in the oven for 7-8 hours or until beans are tender. I usually put it in the night before and cook overnight. Sometimes it takes a bit longer the next day, depending on how cold the ingredients are and how old the beans are!
• (Check from time to time and add more water if mixture gets too dry).
• When done, remove the meat from the pan and shred in bite-size pieces. (I find just stirring it well when it is done breaks up the meat sufficiently).
• Return meat to pan and stir.
• This should be the consistency of chili.
• Season to taste.
• To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a plate, top with Mexicali meat.
• Top with choices of condiments, fold in edges, and roll loosely.
• Chef Note: This is a perfect dish for OAMC/Bulk cooking. Freeze meal-sized portions in rigid freezer containers or Ziplock freezer bags. To use, defrost and reheat in microwave or on stovetop.

Steps:

• Bring pork shoulder roast, onion, garlic, and 1 package taco seasoning to a boil in a large pot with enough water to cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 hours. Check water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Reserve about 1 cup cooking liquid.
• Shred pork with a fork, discarding excess fat and bone. Stir in tomatoes, refried beans, green chiles, and remaining package of taco seasoning. If the mixture is too dry, add reserved cooking liquid.
• Spread pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Fold bottom and top edges of each tortilla over filling; roll sides up to enclose filling completely.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil a large skillet over medium heat; fry burritos in batches, seam sides down, until tortillas are golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain fried burritos on a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• 1. Top flour tortillas with some drained black beans, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, & salsa. May add sour cream if desired.
