Burrito Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Add the pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Stir in chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, and salt. Add enough water to cover the pork, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and mix well with the sauce.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burritos

    Warm the flour tortillas. On each tortilla, place a portion of the shredded pork, black beans, rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
