This is an absolutely great take on birria, who doesn’t love a deep fried burrito. All the flavors from the Consomme are just next level.
Chimichanga Burritos
Difficulty : Easy This recipe makes 10 chimichangas
Ingredients
- 4 lbs boneless beef ribs (bone in are fine)
- Al pastor seasoning (salt and pepper seasoning is fine as well)

Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees
- Season the short ribs with Al pastor seasoning (salt and pepper are fine as well) and then place them in the smoker for 3 hours

- In a Dutch oven or the same pot, add the meat, cover with sauce and add more water as needed to fully submerge the meat. Boil for 2 hours on med high heat
- After 2 hours, remove the meat from the Consome and either chop or shred,
- !ow let’s make that chimichanga! On your large burrito tortilla, add meat, Oaxaca cheese, cilantro and onion, fold really well and use a toothpick to hold the tortilla together
- In a skillet add about 1 inch of oil and preheat to 300 degrees, now fry the burrito about 30 seconds per side on all sides. Or until golden brown
- Let cool before serving.
Notes
In a a small bowl add the Consomme and top it off with cilantro and onion and a fresh squeeze of lime. You can strain the sauce if you want to.
