Easy Mexican Pork Burritos

Recipe View Prepare the Pork: Place pork roast, onion, and garlic into a large pot. Sprinkle one package of taco seasoning over the top and add enough water to cover the roast. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until meat is tender and can be pulled apart with a fork (2-3 hours). Check water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Carefully transfer roast to a cutting board. Discard vegetables, but reserve about 1 cup of cooking liquid.

Recipe View Shred and Mix: Shred pork with a fork, discarding any excess fat. Place shredded pork into a mixing bowl with refried beans, diced tomatoes, green chiles, and the remaining taco seasoning. Mix until well combined, adding reserved cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry.

Recipe View Assemble the Burritos: Spread pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Fold the bottom and top edges of each tortilla over the filling, then roll from one side to form a burrito.

Recipe View Fry to Perfection: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two burritos into the hot oil with the seams facing down. Fry until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Flip and repeat on the other side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Continue to fry remaining burritos in batches of two.
