Steps:
- Heat up two tablespoons of oil in a large pan and fry onion, garlic and pepper until they start to soften approx. 8 min.
- Add remaining ingredients (pulled pork, rice, beans) and mix well letting the filling heat up a bit before you add BBQ sauce. The homemade one I used in my Instant Pot BBQ Pulled Pork works a treat or simply use your favourite shop bought one.
- Add lime juice and chopped coriander (cilantro) and give everything a mix. Have a little taste and season if required.
- Prepare your tortillas. You might want to soften them up in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Put some filling not quite in the centre but more towards the top of your tortilla (the amount of filling will depend on the size of your tortilla) and sprinkle over some greated cheese.
- Start folding your burrito by folding over the top of the tortilla and gathering the sides to keep the filling in. Roll up tightly and set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

EASY MEXICAN PORK BURRITOS
Pork butt roast and taco or burrito seasoning are a combination to die for! This recipe originally came from my Aunt Pennie. I've tweaked it to our liking though. My whole family loves these! When we have friends over for dinner, this is the perfect meal to prepare. I usually make about 20-24 burritos from one batch of filling. Serve with lettuce, tomato, green onion, sour cream, salsa, avocado, black olives, and Cheddar cheese, if desired.

Steps:
- Bring pork shoulder roast, onion, garlic, and 1 package taco seasoning to a boil in a large pot with enough water to cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 hours. Check water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Reserve about 1 cup cooking liquid.
- Shred pork with a fork, discarding excess fat and bone. Stir in tomatoes, refried beans, green chiles, and remaining package of taco seasoning. If the mixture is too dry, add reserved cooking liquid.
- Spread pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Fold bottom and top edges of each tortilla over filling; roll sides up to enclose filling completely.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil a large skillet over medium heat; fry burritos in batches, seam sides down, until tortillas are golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain fried burritos on a paper towel-lined plate.

PLEASINGLY EASY PULLED PORK
Pulled pork, in its simplest and fastest of slow-cooked methods, begins with boneless pork shoulder. The top of a pork shoulder is referred to as a "butt" or "Boston butt" BUT it is shoulder meat nonetheless. It was shipped in barrels at one time, and it was buttressed up the sides of the barrels, as the fable goes. The higher the cut the fattier the meat; if you want to remove fat from pulled pork, make it a day ahead to cool it and skim.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F, rack 1 rung below center.
- Bring pork to room temperature, about 30 minutes, and pat dry.
- Combine paprika, salt, garlic, onion, oregano or marjoram and pepper in a bowl, then coat meat evenly, rubbing mixture into meat.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil, 3 turns of the pan. When oil ripples and smokes, add the meat and brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Add beer, wine or cider and reduce a minute or so, then add stock. Cover and place in oven. Cook 3 hours until very tender, then shred meat with tines of 2 forks, removing larger pieces of fat or connective tissue as you work. Stir meat and drippings together with Barbecue Sauce, if using.
- Heat oil in medium saucepot or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions, chile, garlic, salt and pepper, then soften 5 to 6 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce 1 to 2 minutes, then add ketchup or sauce, Worcestershire, brown sugar and hot sauce. Simmer over low heat for flavors to combine. Add to pork and drippings and combine.

Steps:
- For the pork: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Portion the pork butt in two equal sections around 1 pound each. Next, in a small bowl, blend the salt, cayenne, black pepper and cumin, mixing well. Then pat dry the pork and rub the exterior with the mixed seasonings. Once rubbed with the seasoning, place in a deep roasting pan. Add the cut vegetables and finish with the stock, then cover with foil. After covering, bake until softened, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. After roasting, remove from the oven, place the pork on a sheet pan and allow cooling. Skim any fat from the stock and reserve. After cooling, pull the meat for burritos, and then place the stock in a saucepot, warming over medium-high heat. Then puree with a stick blender to a create a sauce. Once pureed, taste and re-season if preferred. Then remove from the stovetop and place in a container to cool.
- For the rice: Place the stock in a saucepan and warm over high heat. Once hot, add the annatto seed and stir until dissolved. Then remove from the stove and pour over the raw rice in a 2-inch deep baking pan. Add the cilantro and jalapenos, cover with foil and place in the oven until cooked, about 30 minutes. All liquids should be absorbed for the rice to be cooked.
- For the burritos: To build the burritos, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the pork and 1 cup reserved puree, stirring while warming for 4 to 5 minutes. Then add the cilantro, salt, pepper and lemon juice and warm. Then reduce the heat to low and keep the pork hot. Next, lay a tortilla flat and add in the center section 1 cup warmed pork, 1/4 cup rice, 2 tablespoons beans and 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla to meet, and then pull the sides over covering one another. Next, in a separate pan or on griddle, add 1 teaspoon reserved pork fat and heat over medium heat and allow to warm. Add the burrito and sear on the first side until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, and then repeat on the second side until browned. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a lot of fat, which makes it tender and flavorful.
- Slow-cook the pork: The best way to get fall-apart tender pulled pork is to slow-cook it. You can do this in a crock pot, a Dutch oven, or even in a slow cooker bag in the oven.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder.
- Make the sauce: A simple sauce made with ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices is a great way to add flavor to the pulled pork.
- Assemble the burritos: Fill a tortilla with pulled pork, sauce, and your favorite toppings. Fold it up and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Pulled pork burritos are a delicious and easy meal that can be made in advance and reheated for a quick and convenient lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover pulled pork. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
