Mexicali Meat Burritos Recipes

MEXICALI MEAT BURRITOS

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.

• Cut Chuck Roast into 1 inch cubes.
• Use a crockpot.
• Mix dry ingredients together and coat the meat in the crockpot.
• Pour in broth and mix well.
