Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large bowl, rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Place the seared pork in a slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  5. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the juices.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burrito

    Place a generous amount of pulled pork in the center of each tortilla. Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  3. 8

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Slice the burritos in half and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
