Burrito Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, combine the cubed pork shoulder, adobo sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

  2. 2

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat with two forks and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    Take a large flour tortilla and place a generous amount of the shredded carne adovada in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the burritos with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Enjoy!
