Carnitas Burrito Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, mix together cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and mix with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Add marinated pork and sear on all sides.

4. 4

   Braise the Pork

   Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 2 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

5. 5

   Shred the Pork

   Remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot to absorb more flavors.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burrito

   Take a large flour tortilla, fill it with the shredded carnitas, and top with green chili sauce and shredded cheese.

7. 7

   Melt the Cheese

   Roll the burrito tightly and place it in a heated skillet until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown.

8. 8
