Burrito Filling Preparation

1

Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell pepper and sauté until softened, around 5-7 minutes.

2

Add Garlic and Spices

Stir in minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Incorporate the Protein

Add the shredded chicken, beef, or tongue to the skillet. Mix well to combine all ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4

Finish with Cilantro

Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro, mixing until evenly distributed.

Burrito Assembly

5

Warm the Tortillas

Place the flour tortillas on a skillet or in a microwave for a few seconds until warm and pliable.

6

Assemble the Burritos

On each warm tortilla, spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling mixture. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

7

Roll the Burritos

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom to the top to encase the filling.

8

Serve

Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with additional salsa and sour cream on the side.
