Ingredients
Pinto beans : 4 cup
Reserved bean broth : 3/4 cup
Pork lard : 2 tbsp
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 piece White Onion
2 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
8 oz medium cheddar cheese, freshly grated
12 oz Oaxaca cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground ancho chile
Kosher salt, to taste
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Oregano
10 large flour tortillas
Instructions
1
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the pork lard and olive oil.
2
Add the diced onion and cook until slightly softened. Stir in the jalapeños and continue cooking until the onions are lightly golden.
3
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ancho chile, cumin, and Mexican oregano. Stir constantly for about one minute until fragrant.
4
Add the cooked beans to the pan. Gradually incorporate the reserved bean broth while mashing the beans with a potato masher until a creamy, spreadable consistency is achieved.
5
Combine the grated Oaxaca and cheddar cheeses. Mix half of the cheese blend into the beans until melted and incorporated. Season with salt to taste and remove from heat.
6
Warm the flour tortillas until pliable. Spoon the bean mixture into the center of each tortilla, top with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese, and fold in the sides before rolling tightly into a burrito.
