6 steps

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pork roast, cooked (or chicken or beef )
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (more to taste )
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • Optional
  • salsa, green (or red)
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • shredded lettuce
  • one Hass avocado, sliced

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients except tortillas in a saucepan and simmer until thickened. I slow cook mine for 60 minutes, shredding the meat as the sauce thickens. You can combine 1/4 cup flour with some of the liquid from the saucepan and add gradually until thickened if you want to speed up the process.
  2. 2
    Strain sauce out of the meat mixture and reserve.
  3. 3
    Divide some of the meat mixture on the 8 flour tortillas and fold two ends to the middle, same on the other sides.
  4. 4
    Keep burros warm in oven, 275 degrees, until ready to serve. Serve lightly toasted but be careful not to burn.
  5. 5
    Place two burros on each plate. You can at this point eat them sandwich style or you can, if you desire, pour the reserved sauce over the burros.
  6. 6
    Serve this way or along with shredded lettuce, avocado,topped with salsa and cheddar cheese if you desire.
