Burros

Method

Burros

  1. 1

    Prepare aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook potatoes

    Add diced potatoes to the skillet with cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Build filling

    Stir in shredded chicken and cooked pinto beans. Add lime juice and cilantro; heat through. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas

    Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble burritos

    Spread a line of salsa verde onto each tortilla. Divide the filling among tortillas, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then roll up burritos tightly.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Optional: toast burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet 1-2 minutes per side to lightly crisp. Serve with extra salsa or green sauce.
