Method

Cooking the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chunks and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce Ingredients

    Stir in the diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Assembling the Burritos

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill Tortillas

    Spread a layer of refried beans onto each tortilla, followed by a generous serving of the cooked pork and green sauce.

  3. 8

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the burritos with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
