The Other White Meat : Green Chili Burritos

These are good! (BTW - there's no reason you couldn't substitute the pork in this recipe with chicken.)

Green Chili Burritos

1 lb boneless pork, cut into bite sized cubes
1 tbsp oil
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup water
1 fresh tomato, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
5 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
1 (16 oz) can of refried beans
10 6-inch flour tortillas

Over medium heat, brown pork in oil; drain. Add next 10 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Combine cornstarch and water, add to pork mixture - stir while it comes to a boil until thickened (about 2 minutes). Meanwhile, heat beans and spread evenly on tortillas. Spoon pork mixture into tortillas and fold in sides.

I put the filled tortillas in a baking dish, grated on some cheese and stuck it under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Alternately you could skip the assembly step and let people fill their own tortillas at the table. I also served it with sour cream. Yum yum yum!
