Method

Preparation of Pork

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Slow Roast

    Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker. Add lime juice and orange juice. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Set aside.

Grilling Vegetables

  1. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    Slice the onion and poblano pepper. Grill them on medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Burrito

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burrito

    On a large flour tortilla, layer the shredded pork, grilled onion, grilled poblano, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

  2. 6

    Wrap It Up

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