Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. If using chicken, cook it until no longer pink, then shred it. For ground beef, cook until browned. For carnitas, simply heat them through. If using beans, warm them in a separate pot.

  2. 2

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix your chosen protein (chicken, beef, carnitas, or beans) with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half of the mild red chili sauce.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon a portion of the filling in the center. Top with remaining mild red chili sauce and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito.

  4. 4

    Heat the Burritos

    Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a heated skillet or pan. Cook on medium heat until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the burritos in half and serve hot, garnished with extra chili sauce and cheese if desired.
