Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Protein
Select your protein option (beef, pork, chicken, mushrooms, or refried beans). If using meat, cut it into chunks for even cooking.
Cook Method
Depending on the protein selected, you can either slow-cook, braise, or sauté: - For beef or pork: Cook in a slow cooker with broth for 6-8 hours on low. - For chicken: Sauté in a skillet for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. - For mushrooms: Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. - For refried beans: Heat in a saucepan until warmed through.
Combine with Other Dishes
Once your protein is cooked, combine it with your selected dish (birria, carnitas, cochinita pibil, or refritos) and serve hot.
