Quick Notes: This is meant to be an “OMG” burrito. Yep, the photo above is taken in a regular-sized pie tin and this thing is the size of an infant. The sweet pork burrito includes a recipe for Slow Cooker Sweet Pork, and I will also go over how to make cilantro-lime rice. I’ll also include some serving suggestions for these Sweet Pork Burritos as well. You could also serve this up with a side of our Pico de Gallo.
Ingredients
- -Sweet Pork
- 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 cups root beer, divided
- 1 cup of water
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, divided
- 1 15 oz can red enchilada sauce
- 2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Salt
- -Cilantro Lime Rice
- 2 cups white long-grain rice
- 2 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 cup diced cilantro
- salt
- -Burrito Fixins
- 1 package of SUPER FUCKING HUGE tortillas (should come with eight. You can get them at the Mexican market)
- 1 jar of salsa verde
- 1 shit ton of shredded cheese
- 2 cans of either black or pinto beans
- -Garnish Suggestions
- Guacamole
- Pico
- Cilantro
- Sour Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the pork using the instructions here:Â Slow Cooker Sweet Pork. Please note that this is preferred to be a 16-hour recipe including an 8-hour stint marinating in the fridge. You can cut it down to 8 (4 in the fridge, and 4 in the slow cooker0. It'll still be good.Â
- In an instant Pot, add your rice, water, and cilantro. Seal and manual cook it for 8 minutes. Let it natural release 10 minutes.Â
- Move one of your oven racks to the very top rack, and set your oven to broil.Â
- In an oven-safe dish (which is why I use pie tins) layout your tortilla. Put a few spoonfuls of rice in first, top it with an aggressive amount of pork, then your beans, then a little bit of cheese.
- Roll your burrito up nice and snug, pour the salsa Verde over the top and put a good handful of grated cheese on there as well.Â
- Put it in the oven for about five minutes. Keep an eye on it. Since we're on the top rack, it should melt that cheese quickly.Â
- Remove your burrito, let the dish cool slightly, and add any fresh toppings (guacamole, Easy Pico de Gallo, etc).
Notes
*If you absolutely cannot find these gigantic tortillas, feel free to use a normal burrito tortilla or even make your own. *You could pour over normal enchilada sauce or any other sauce that is milder, the salsa Verde is just my preference. *You could definitely use a rice cooker or even cook the rice over the stove if you don't have an Instant pot, just make it using the directions on the packaging.
