Steps:
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Chop your onion.
- Chop your pepper.
- In large skillet, over medium heat, place your pork.
- Using a wooden spoon, break up your pork into small pieces while cooking.
- Add garlic and onions. Add pepper if you don't mind them very soft. Add them later on if you like them to be somewhat crisp.
- Continue to cook until pork is no longer pink.
- Add tomato paste and chili powder.
- Cook for a few minutes until incorporated.
- Add beans and broth.
- Cook until liquid is absorbed and reduced. I usually simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peppers when you are almost finished cooking, at about the 5 minute mark.
- Take a moment to taste the mixture and see if it needs anything like hot sauce or sriracha.
- Divide mixture between the number of tortillas you want to make. Dump mixture into the center of each tortilla and sprinkle jalapenos, if using.
- Sprinkle with as much cheese as desired, if desired.
- My burrito usually looks like this.
- Fold ends in and roll as tight as you can.
- You now have two options. For what it is worth, I prefer option 2.
EASY MEXICAN PORK BURRITOS
Pork butt roast and taco or burrito seasoning are a combination to die for! This recipe originally came from my Aunt Pennie. I've tweaked it to our liking though. My whole family loves these! When we have friends over for dinner, this is the perfect meal to prepare. I usually make about 20-24 burritos from one batch of filling. Serve with lettuce, tomato, green onion, sour cream, salsa, avocado, black olives, and Cheddar cheese, if desired.

PORK AND BLACK BEAN BURRITOS
This is a great rainy day recipe that will make your house smell wonderful all day! I think that this makes a fairly mild burrito filling but the heat level depends on how hot your peppers are as well as your tolerance for heat! 12 hours is the maximum cooking time - it will depend on your roast - I always start with a frozen roast but if you are using thawed it will take less time!

Steps:
- Place the pork roast, either frozen or thawed into a crock pot, add a little water or stock to the bottom of the pot and cook on low for 8-12 hours or until very tender and falling apart.
- About 4 hours before your pork roast is done quick soak the beans in a large stock pot according to the package directions (sort, rinse, cover with 12 cups water, boil rapidly for 2 minutes and let sit, covered for 1 hour).
- While the beans are soaking prepare your serrano peppers. If using dried peppers, remove the stems (and seeds if desired - I leave mine in), cover with boiling water and let steep, covered for 30 minutes. Process the peppers and the rehydration liquid in a food processor or blender until finely chopped. If using fresh peppers simply dice them up, again removing the seeds if desired.
- Drain and rinse the beans, return them to the pot and add the chicken stock, peppers, and enough water to just cover the beans. Simmer for about 3 hours or until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Check on the beans periodically to make sure they have enough liquid - you may need to add liquid a couple of times before the beans are tender. (You can add any liquid you want - I add some liquid from the pork roast which is delicious but you could add either water or more stock as well!).
- When beans are finished cooking, add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and all the seasonings and stir well to combine. Continue to simmer on the stove over low heat while you shred the pork.
- Shred the pork roast, removing the fat and place the meat in a large bowl. Add the shredded cheeses on top of the pork and pour the finished beans over the cheese. Stir everything together - the hot pork and beans should melt the cheese!
- Place the filling inside the tortialls (you can warm them first if desired - I don't but I do place the wrapped burrito into the microwave with cheese sprinkled on top and microwave it for a minute to melt the cheese and heat everything well!) and serve with hot sauce if desired!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful beans, rice, and vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Pork and beans are a classic combination, but you could also try black beans, pinto beans, or even lentils. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, peppers, or onions.
- Make sure to cook the pork thoroughly before adding it to the burritos. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- If you're short on time, you can use canned pork and beans instead of cooking them yourself. Just be sure to rinse the beans well before using them.
- Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
