Green Chili Burros

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant.
3. Add the ground meat and cook until evenly browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes to blend the flavors.
5. Spoon the meat mixture into the flour tortillas, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll tightly into burros. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
6. Pour the green chile enchilada sauce evenly over the burros and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
7. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the tops are lightly golden.
8. Serve hot with rice, beans, or sour cream on the side.

Variations :

• Add refried beans to the filling for a creamier, heartier burro.
• Use shredded chicken or pork instead of ground meat.
• Top with diced onions or sliced olives before baking for extra texture.

Tips :

• Warm the tortillas slightly before filling to prevent tearing.
• For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or use a spicier green chile sauce.
• Let the burros rest for a few minutes after baking to make serving easier.
