Pork Filling

Method

Pork Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder to the pot, season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Brown the pork on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and mix with the juices. Allow to cool slightly.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burritos

    On each tortilla, layer 1/4 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, and 1/4 of the shredded pork filling. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa.

  3. 7

    Fold and Roll

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with extra salsa on the side.
