Units
Scale
For the Meat
- 4 lbs Pork Tenderloin (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 TBSP Oil (I use canola or olive)
- 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Ground Oregano
- 2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 TBSP Garlic Salt
- For the Sauce
- 16oz of HOT Red chili ( frozen or fresh)
- 3 C Water
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 TBSP Garlic Powder
- 1 TBSP Garlic Salt
- 1 tsp salt (this is optional, to taste, I would add at the end)
- 1/2 tsp Ground Oregano
- 1 TBSP Ground Cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp Gernhert brand Chili Powder
To Thicken
- 1/2 C Cornstarch
- 2/3 C Water
For Actual Burrito
- Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
- Re-fried Beans
- Chopped onion (optional)
- Honey (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the pork tenderloin into ½” cubes. Add oil to the pot and turn on stove top to medium-high heat.
- Add the meat and seasoning to pot and brown it. (Pro Tip: Meat does not need to be cooked through, just browned)
- Add the red chili and water to the pot.
- Add all remaining seasoning to the mixture. (PRO TIP: while adding seasoning, stir constantly to avoid clumping)
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together with a spoon until smooth. Then add to chili mixture, constantly stirring while adding. (Pro Tip: Important to stir while pouring the cornstarch mixture into the pot and continue to stir for a full 60 seconds. It will prevent the mixture from settling to the bottom and sticking.)
- Let simmer for about 30 mins, stirring occasionally. (Pro Tip: This is the most important thing…The TASTE Test! Make sure that the flavor is right, you may need to add additional salt or other seasoning.)
- Prepare the Burrito: Heat the tortilla over flame or in microwave for 30 seconds.
- Scoop 2 TBSP re-fried beans and spread int he middle of the tortilla.
- Add a scoop of the green chili mixture over the beans.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese.
- Fold the burrito with “ends” in.
- Smother burrito with extra sauce and more cheese.
- Heat in microwave until cheese is melted.
- Top with optional honey or chopped onions and ENJOY!
