One portion of this dish contains roughly 87g of protein, 81g of fat, and a total of 2540 calories. A mixture of tomatoes, cooking oil, romaine lettuce, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 45 minutes. It is a pricey recipe for fans of Mexican food.
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the thyme, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Add the olive oil slowly, whisking.
Cut the pork into 1/4-inch slices, and then cut the slices into 1/4-inch strips. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil over high heat.
Add half the pork, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and saut until cooked through and just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon cooking oil and cook the rest of the pork, seasoning it with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Return all the pork to the pan. Stir in the barbecue sauce, cumin, the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, and two thirds (about 1 cup) of the cheese.
Spread some of the pork mixture in a line just below the center of each tortilla.
Roll up the burritos and put them seam-side down in a small baking dish.
Bake for 10 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake until the cheese melts and the filling is hot, about 2 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, put the lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumber into the bowl and toss.
Put the salad on plates and top with the burritos.
Wine Recommendation: With sweet, smoky-tasting barbecue, it's a toss-up between an exuberant Californian zinfandel and a lush, jammy Australian shiraz.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Francis Ford Coppolan Oregon Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Francis Ford Coppola Oregon Pinot Noir
Grown in an appellation that experiences cool summers and mild winters, this Pinot Noir offers an exciting contrast to Coppola's California bottling, expressing a more delicate tannin structure and higher acidity that makes it elegant and well-proportioned. This wine reflects the essence of the appellation and flavors that make Oregon Pinot Noir so desirable.Light and stylish, the palate presents a freshly pickedquality, lively acidity, and well-balanced oak sweetness.This vintage is fruit forward with a satiny supple textureand ripe tannins. Thanks to careful barrel selection, notesof grilled almonds and toasted bread are beautifullyintegrated into the flavor matrix.
