GREEN CHILI
SMOTHERED BURRITOS
For our Cinco de Mayo dinner tonight, we are having Smothered Burritos with
Green Chili, as the main course. I got this recipe from EMPIRE Magazine
over 20 years ago. It is just fabulous!
GREEN CHILI: Makes about 2 quarts
Heat a heavy kettle. Add pork. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until
grease starts to collect. continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until
pork is brown on all sides. Add onion and garlic during last 5 minutes
cooking time. Drain off all grease. Combine chili powder, salt, pepper,
tomatoes, and chilies. Add tomato mixture to pork. Bring to boil, reduce
heat and simmer, tightly covered, three hours. Serve as a sauce for
Smothered Burritos. Makes about two quarts green chili. Green chili freezes
nicely.
SMOTHERED BURRITOS: Spread tortillas with beans. Roll tortillas, jelly roll
fashion. Place tortillas, seam sides down, in single layer in greased pan.
Pour green chili over top and around sides. Sprinkle with onions, tomatoes,
and generous portion of cheese. Bake, uncovered, in oven preheated to 350
degrees about 20 minutes, or until burritos are thoroughly heated (bubbling
at the sides). Serve extra heated green chili in a bowl, plus provide the
shredded lettuce and sour cream for topping off individual portions.
