Mexican Burrito Filling
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the pork rib, brush with mustard, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Peel the garlic clove and cut into 2-3 pieces; halve the dried red chilli peppers.
- When the oil is hot, sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 6-8 minutes total.
- Pour in water until the pork is almost halfway submerged, reduce heat to low.
- Stir the meat stock, garlic pieces, and halved chillies into the liquid.
- Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning the pork every 30 minutes and adding water as needed.
- When the bones pull away easily and internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F), remove the pork and cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl; once cooled, shred the pork with your hands or forks, discarding fat and bones.
- Cut the onions into thin rings and bell peppers into strips.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and fry the onions for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften.
- Add the shredded pork and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in enough reserved cooking liquid to cover the base by 1-2 cm.
- Reduce heat to low, add the bell pepper strips, and simmer gently.
- Add the burrito seasoning mix, starting with half the packet and adjusting to taste, stirring well; add more liquid if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Simmer until the bell peppers are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Use the burrito filling to fill tortillas.
