Instructions

For The Burritos

Dice pork and beef into bite sized chunks.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook beef and pork until meat is no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
In the same large skillet, add ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Add garlic, seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain and set side.
In a large Dutch oven, place all cooked meat into pan and add beef broth. Let broth come to a boil, stirring frequently, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until broth has been absorbed.
Add drained and rinsed pinto and black beans into Dutch oven. Add refried beans, Rotel, and diced green chilies. Stir until well combined and continue cooking over low heat until heated through, stirring frequently.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels, set aside.

To Heat The Tortillas

Preheat a non stick pan over medium heat. Place tortilla in pan for approximately 20-30 seconds, turn tortilla over and repeat until tortilla is heated thoroughly.
Place a couple heaping tablespoons of meat mixture into the middle of the tortilla, top with cheese, and fold into a burrito.

Frying The Burritos

Heat oil in a large skillet, or frying pan, over medium high heat.
Carefully place 2-3 burritos at a time into hot oil and fry until golden brown, turn over and fry the other side until golden brown.
Continue frying until all burritos have been cooked.
Place cooked burritos on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Serve hot, with your favorite toppings: sour cream, sliced green onions, cilantro, salsa.
For any leftover burritos, wrap individually in foil, place in freezer storage bags and place in the fridge if eating within a few days or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
