Braised Chile Colorado Chamorro Into A Wet Burrito

Instead of using regular beef I used Chamorro.

Seared both sides.

Made the Chile Colorado and strained it.

Mixed the meat in the red sauce on a deep cast iron pan.

Braised for 3 hours.

While it cooked I made my version of Mexican/Spanish rice.

Instead of blending the tomatoes I chopped them up with onion and garlic and cooked for 20 minutes and turned off the heat.

Once the rice was done I didn’t touch or opened the lid for 10 minutes.

Once the 10 minutes went by I fluffed the rice and cover for 10 minutes and fluffed every 10 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.

Once everything was done I warmed up some burrito size flour tortillas and regular size tortillas.

Put a layer of red salsa on the bottom of an aluminum pan so the tortillas won’t stick then as I made the burrito I lined them up.

Once I had a layer of burrito I added some salsa on top the burritos and cheese and continued the process.

Once the burritos were done I put them in the oven 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese was completely melted.

You can top them off how ever you like but this wet burritos are flavorful enough no need to add anything else.

Chamorro is a cut of meat from the shoulder or leg of an animal, typically beef or pork.

It tends to be flavorful and well-suited for slow cooking, making it perfect for braising in dishes like Chile Colorado.

Searing the meat before braising helps to develop flavor and texture by caramelizing the surface.

This step enhances the overall taste of the dish.

Chile Colorado is a traditional Mexican dish made with dried red chilies, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices.

The ingredients are blended or cooked down into a rich sauce that is used to braise the meat.

Straining the sauce removes any large pieces or solids, resulting in a smoother texture and more consistent flavor throughout the dish.

Braising the Chamorro for approximately 3 hours allows it to become tender and absorb the flavors of the Chile Colorado sauce.

Mexican/Spanish rice is a flavorful side dish made with rice, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices.

Cooking the rice with these ingredients adds depth of flavor and complements the main dish.

Allowing the rice to rest, covered, helps it to steam and finish cooking evenly.

Fluffing the rice periodically ensures a light and fluffy texture.

Warming the tortillas makes them pliable and easier to work with.

It also enhances their flavor and texture.

Layering salsa on the bottom of the pan prevents the tortillas from sticking and adds extra flavor to the dish as it bakes.

Common options include additional salsa, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
