A Sonoran-style burrito: shredded beef braised with roasted green chiles, rolled into a thin flour tortilla, often served enchilada-style under cheese and sauce.
The green chile burro is everyday Sonoran-Arizona food, built on the region's thin flour tortillas and the roasted green chiles that arrive each autumn. Family kitchens braise shredded beef with chile until it falls apart, then roll it tight. Phoenix's old-guard Mexican rooms keep it on the menu year round, sometimes plain, sometimes wet under sauce and cheese.
