  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 3 large burritos 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork shoulder, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the pork by combining lime juice, orange juice, adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and coat well. Cover and let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix cooked pork, chopped onions, and cilantro. Add sliced avocado if desired. Spread a layer of refried beans on a tortilla, followed by the pork mixture.
  4. Roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Wipe the edges and repeat with remaining tortillas. For a crunchier exterior, place rolled burritos on a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes per side until golden.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat burritos on a skillet for best texture.
  • You can freeze burritos for up to 2 months; wrap tightly before freezing.
  • Serve with lime wedges, salsa, or guacamole for added flavor.
