A typical item found in our local Mexican restaurant menus is the burrito colorado, or the chili colorado.?
Is this a traditional Mexican dish? And where would I find a good recipe?
Yes it is and i make it very often, this is th eway i make it seems more complicated than it actually is and is worth it.
1 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
8 ounces boneless pork butt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups canned tomato puree
1 cup water
Cut the pork and beef into strips about 1/8 inch thick by 1/2 inch wide, trimming away excess fat.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add enough meat to cover the bottom of the pot.
Cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, and continue with another batch of raw meat until all is cooked.
Return all of the meat to the pot and add all the remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil and and cook over medium heat for 1 1/2 hours. (or bake covered in a 400 degree oven for 1/2 hours).
Serve rolled in warmed tortillas, with sour cream and salsa.
Enjoy!!
