I just had to share what we had for dinner the other night. It is one of our favorite things to eat. Green Chili Burritos. But these were special Green Chili Burritos. I cooked the beans in my Wonderbox (what they heck is a Wonderbox? See the next post) and made refried beans and we made the tortillas from scratch. This was SOOOOO...good. Here are the recipes if you would like to try them at your house.
Green Chili
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 can green chilies
1/4 c. flour
water
Cook the ground beef until cooked and crumbled. Sprinkle the flour onto the cooked beef and stir in. Whisk in water to make a "gravy". Start with about 3 cups of water. More can be added later if the sauce is too thick. Add the green chilies, salt & pepper. Whisk as it comes to a boil. Simmer on low for a few minutes until it is thickened. Serve over bean & cheese burritos.
Wheat Tortillas
(this is the recipe that came with our tortilla press)
(We have the VillaWare UNO Grand Wrap Flat bread maker and we LOVE it.)
1.5 c. whole wheat flour
1.5 c. unbleached flour
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. canola oil
1 c. warm water
Combine flours together and add salt. Stir in oil until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add water and stir until very well mixed. (I use my bread mixer to make my tortilla dough and it takes me less than 5 minutes to mix these up.) Separate dough and roll into 12 balls. Cover & let rest at least 30 minutes. Press and cook with a tortilla press or roll out with a rolling pin and cook on a hot griddle.
Refried Beans
Cook pinto & black beans (about 1 lb. total) until soft. Add 1 c. chicken stock and salt, pepper, garlic salt and blend until the right consistency is reached.
