Instructions:
-Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees.
Now season the short ribs with Al pastor seasoning (salt and pepper are fine as well) place them in the smoker for 3 hours. While they are smoking, make the sauce, add all sauce ingredients in a pot with about 7 cups of water and boil them on medium heat for 25 min.
-After 25 min, remove the bay leaves and blend everything else until smooth.
-In a Dutch oven or the same pot, add the meat, cover with the 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 consommé and either chop or shred.
-Now 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.
