Looks pretty good, but why are you using Extra Virgin olive oil instead
of cheap olive oil or chicken fat or some kind of neutral vegetable oil?

and the answer is; 99% of the time I use el-cheapo Costco evoo I keep near
the stove with a pour spout. I use that oil for everything except Chinese
where I use vegetable oil & butter which I use for eggs.

Sounds good. I was wondering at first what EVOO meant. I thought
it was some kind of non-food cooking oil. In the very next post I saw
it was extra virgin olive oil The recipe sounds good. When I lived
in L.A. there were mexican restaurants on every corner, the smaller
and more divey they were, the better the food. I loved the green
chile pork burritos with beans and rice, but mostly the sauce. I have
saved your recipe. Might come up with other stuff using yours.
Thanks.
