Mexican-Style Burritos With Machaca Guisada (Braised Dried-Beef) Recipe

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine Machaca Guisada with 1 tablespoon water. Set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Remove from heat.

Step 2

To Re-Warm Tortillas (Only if Needed): Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or carbon steel skillet over medium heat until warmed through, then, working with 1 at a time, add a tortilla and cook, flipping once, until just warmed through, about 20 seconds. Return warmed tortilla to a cloth towel or tortilla warmer to ensure it remains warm and pliable. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 3

To Form Burritos: Working with 1 tortilla at a time, set tortilla on a work surface and spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of machaca guisada in center, piling it so that it forms a 2 1/2- by 1-inch horizontal mound.

Step 4

Using your hands, fold the left and right sides up and over the filling, then roll tortilla from the bottom up to form a small burrito-like package. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Serve burritos while still warm with the lime wedges and cucumber slices on the side.
