Arnoldo's Flamin' Fuego Burrito

Arnoldo | Correctional Training Facility Soledad
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" flour tortilla
  • 8 oz Flamin' Hot Cheetos
  • 3 oz Pepe's Chicharrones
  • 4 oz refried beans
  • 8 oz white rice precooked
  • 1 tbsp squeezed sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 4 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)
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp margarine or butter
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, marinate the pork in lemon juice and sriracha sauce.
  • Mix the white rice in a bowl with the refried beans, chicharrones, Flamin' Hot Cheetos, 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 a hot grill until the burritos are charred and crispy.
