Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Gently warm the baked beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Aim for a simmer, not a boil. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. This prevents tearing when rolling. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Lay a warm tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle a tablespoon of diced red onion down the center. Top with 2 tablespoons of the warmed baked beans, followed by 2-3 tablespoons of the heated pulled pork. Sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. (3 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Carefully roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends as you go. Place the filled burrito on a microwave-safe plate.

05

Step
1 mins

Drizzle the top of the burrito with 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with a bit more cheese. (1 minute)

06

Step
1 mins

Microwave the burrito until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Timing will vary depending on your microwave, but start with 1 minute and add more time in 30-second increments if needed. (1-2 minutes)

07

Step
0 mins

Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

08

Step
0 mins

Serve immediately, optionally with a side of your favorite coleslaw, sour cream, or guacamole.

For extra flavor, consider adding a spoonful of your favorite barbecue sauce to the pulled pork before assembling the burritos.
If you prefer a spicier burrito, use a hot enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beans.
To prevent soggy burritos, avoid overfilling them and be sure to drain any excess liquid from the beans and pork.
These burritos can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before microwaving.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the pulled pork with black beans or grilled vegetables.
Try grilling the assembled burritos for a crispy exterior. Brush with a little oil and grill over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
