Method

Adobo Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Add pork shoulder to the pot and season with adobo sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return shredded pork to the pot to absorb the juices.

Black Beans Preparation

  1. 4

    Heat the Beans

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine rinsed black beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Rice Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Spinach Queso Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Queso

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, milk, chopped spinach, diced jalapeño, garlic powder, and salt. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burrito

    Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer adobo pork, black beans, rice, pico de gallo, and drizzle with spinach queso. Roll up tightly and serve.
