Burrito Filling

Method

Burrito Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the choice of meat (beef, chicken, or pork) and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes for beef or pork, and 5-7 minutes for chicken. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the diced green chiles, cumin, and cooked meat back into the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the meat and chile mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  4. 4

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Place seam-side down on a plate or baking dish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burritos warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Green Chile Asada Burrito!
