Smothered Burritos - recipe

Flour Tortillas
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon shortening
1 to 1 1/2 cups warm water

Chile Verde
3 cups diced, roasted and peeled Anaheim peppers (see below)
or 1 (28 ounce) can whole green chiles, chopped
2 cups water
2 pounds diced lean pork or diced lean or ground beef
1 tablespoon shortening
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat flour tortilla on grill about 10 seconds; turn and heat another 10 seconds until hot. Add about 3/4 cup refried beans; roll. Place on serving plate. Top with Chili Verde and generous amounts of cheeses, using as desired.
Zap in the microwave until cheese is melted.

Flour Tortillas: Mix flour, baking soda, salt and shortening with hands until thoroughly combined. Add enough warm water to make a manageable dough (easy to roll). Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a biscuit. Roll into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Put on heated 300 degree F grill for about 6 seconds; turn and cook another 8 seconds. Repeat with remaining dough.
Makes 24 flour tortillas.

Tortillas may be frozen. Stack between sheets of waxed paper.

Chili Verde: Roast Anaheim peppers in a 350 degree F oven for about 15 minutes; turn and roast an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven; cool. (The peppers may be frozen at this point.)
To peel roasted Anaheim chiles, steam a few minutes; cool as needed, then peel and dice. Add 2 cups water; set aside.
In a large skillet, cook pork (or beef) in melted shortening until browned and completely cooked. Add flour, garlic salt and pepper, blending well. Add Anaheim pepper mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and simmer 10 minutes.
