Pork Carnitas Burrito Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper, then sear it in a large pot with olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Remove the pork and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Pork

   Add enough water to the pot to cover the pork, add the seared pork shoulder back, and simmer on low for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

3. 3

   Make Guajillo Sauce

   Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo peppers. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes, then blend with a little water until smooth. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare Potatoes

   Dice the potatoes and boil in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Scramble the Eggs

   In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Cook them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until just set. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Assemble Burritos

   In each tortilla, layer shredded pork, boiled potatoes, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of guajillo pepper sauce.

7. 7

   Add Green Chili Sauce

   Top the burritos with green chili sauce and a dollop of lemon crema made by mixing sour cream and the juice of the lemon.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Finish with chopped scallions on top before wrapping the burrito tightly.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the burritos warm, with additional guajillo sauce on the side if desired.
