Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked rice and canned pork instead of cooking your own. You can also make the pork in advance and store it in the fridge or freezer for later use. When reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or water to help moisten the meat. Lastly, make sure to warm the tortillas before assembling the burritos to prevent them from cracking. Enjoy!
