Fuego Flamin' Furritos
I was inspired to cook Flamin’ Furritos by imagining a picture of old-fashioned brown cowboys cooking spicy food in the shadow of a rigid sky-high mountain. In the night of the desert, surrounded by feisty saguaro trees, they cook in the roaring fire. So, in devotion to the rugged cowboys with hefty mustaches, I wanted to make a fiery burrito.To start, I take everything I need to my culinary job, with access to a grill and tools. Vamos, mis Vaqueros Y Vaqueras!
Ingredients
- 1 12 in flour tortilla
- 8 oz Flamin' Hot Cheetos
- 3 oz Pepe’s Chicharrones (sabor a chile picante)
- 4 oz refried beans, ready to serve
- 8 oz white rice precooked
- 1 tbsp squeezed sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 each Jalapeno slices wheels
- 2 tbsp seasoned salt
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp crushed red pepper
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 5-6 cups water
- 2 oz chata chilorio (shredded seasoned pork meat, for one furrito) (I use 3 packs of 8.8 oz chilorio pork meat)
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (to marinate meat)
- 1/2 tbsp margarine or butter
- 2 tbsp cooking oil (to cook chilorio meat)
Instructions
- Marinate the pork in lemon juice and sriracha sauce in a bowl.
- Mix the white rice in a bowl with the refried beans, chicharrones, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, 2 tablespoons of powdered garlic, salt, minced onion, and crushed red pepper.
- Dice red tomatoes and add to bowl.
- Boil five cups and add to bowl.
- Let cook for about 20 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the cheese, sliced jalapenos, and mayo.
- Lay out your tortilla and spread it with mayo sauce.
- With a spoon, add four healthy spoonfuls of the Cheetos mixture to your tortilla. Top with chileo meat.
- Add a squirt of squeezed cheese. Rub the tortilla with margarine, meticulously fold them around the filling, and gently put them on the hot grill until the burritos are charred and crispy.
- You are finally done with the fiery, savory, and exquisite burrito (imitating discharging pistols with both hands and blowing out smoke.) But what is the noise I hear outside!? ( Gasp) It’s hundreds of old-fashioned cowboys on horses dashing my way!
