Enfrijoladas

Submitted by PJ991092

"This rib sticking meal (or casserole) take off on a Mexican classic combines a burrito with all the sides into one incredible package. We've been eating this meal on a regular basis for the past 15 years. The next day left overs taste even better after the flavors mingle for a while. You can use any meat but we find pork stays the most moist through the process. Turkey was far too dry but you may have better luck."
