Time 40m

Yield 6 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound boneless pork loin chops, about 3/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups homemade salsa verde (recipe below) or store-bought
6 "burrito-sized" 10-inch flour or whole grain tortillas
1 16-ounce can fat-free refried beans, heated* (See Cook's Note)
1 cup cooked white rice, heated
1 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges, for serving
2 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks discarded, rinsed and patted dry
1 jalapeno
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup white or yellow onion, chopped
1/3 cup packed cilantro leaves with tender stems
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • To make pork: Lightly oil grill grate. Brush pork with oil and season with chili powder and salt. Grill pork over medium-high heat, with lid closed, about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches between 145 degrees F. (medium rare) to 160 degrees F. (medium) on a digital meat thermometer. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes.
  • Place tortillas on grill grate and cook until heated, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from grill and wrap in a napkin to keep warm.
  • To assemble burrito: Chop pork into bite-sized pieces. For each burrito, spread 2 tablespoons of beans in a wide strip on center of tortilla. Top with rice and cheese, evenly distributed between the burritos, and 1/6 of chopped pork. Sprinkle with cilantro. Fold in right and left sides, and roll up tortilla from the bottom. Transfer each to a dinner plate. Smother each with one sixth of warm salsa, add lime wedges and serve immediately.
  • Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat, about 450 degrees F. Place tomatillos and jalapeno on grill grate and cook, with the lid closed, turning them occasionally, until jalapeno skin is blackened and blistered (about 5 minutes) and tomatillos are browned but not bursting (7 to 9 minutes). Transfer them to a bowl as they are done, and let cool. Scrape and discard skin from jalapeno. Seed jalapeno, reserving seeds.
  • Pulse avocado, tomatillos and any juices, jalapeno (without seeds), onion, cilantro, oil, garlic, salt and sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. For a spicier salsa, add seeds. Transfer to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low to keep salsa warm. Extra salsa can be stored in the refrigerator and kept up to 3 days.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde was a nice addition. However, I found the burritos to be a little dry. Next time, I would add some more moisture, either by using a different type
