Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    If using pork carnitas, heat the pork in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. For grilled shrimp, season the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin, then grill until pink and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Cook the Arroz Verde

    Prepare the arroz verde according to package instructions or make it from scratch by cooking rice with green salsa, chicken broth, and cilantro until tender.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    On each flour tortilla, layer a portion of the arroz verde, followed by the choice of protein (pork or shrimp), a generous sprinkle of queso Chihuahua, and a drizzle of lime juice.

  4. 4

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges and cilantro on the side.
