Do I wait to cut my sourdough until it’s cooled?
Basically never.
Melted butter. Always.

Burritos for field meals.

Here’s what I did. I’m calling these burritos but they are by no means authentic.

In the instant pot - frozen pork butt roast, Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, red pepper, head of garlic, carrot, dehydrated veggie mix, green onion, molasses, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, some dried Mexican chilis, water, soya sauce

Instant pot on high 2.5 hours
Shred the roast
Blend the sauce then reduce it down
Dip tortillas in sauce
Fill with refried beans, cheese and shredded pork.
Sauce in the bottom of the pan, burrito on top, pour a bit more sauce on, bake for about half an hour at 350° to crisp the tortillas.

I made a quick salsa in my blender to go on top (Roma tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, red pepper, lime, salt and pepper) then put some cheese.

It’s field meal season, swipe for some ideas.

I’m not a recipe follower, I just roll with it when I’m cooking. Feel free to ask what’s in a certain thing!

What’s on your field menu?
