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.

Steps:
- Clean the ribs, and trim away any excess fat. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, 1/4 cup salt, ground black pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Coat ribs liberally with spice mix. Place the ribs in two 10x15 inch roasting pans, piling two racks of ribs per pan. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Bake uncovered for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and nearly fall apart.
- Remove 5 tablespoons of drippings from the bottom of the roasting pans, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in pan drippings until lightly browned and tender. Stir in ketchup, and heat for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring constantly. Next, mix in water and brown sugar, and season to taste with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, adding water as necessary to achieve desired thickness.
- Preheat grill for medium-low heat.
- When ready to grill, add soaked wood chips to the coals or to the smoker box of a gas grill. Lightly oil grill grate. Place ribs on the grill two racks at a time so they are not crowded. Cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste ribs with sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling, so the sauce does not burn.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder (also called pork butt) is the best cut of meat for carnitas. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
- Season the pork well: A good spice rub is essential for flavorful carnitas. Be sure to use a combination of spices that you enjoy, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the pork slowly and shred it: Carnitas is traditionally cooked in a slow cooker or braising pan. This allows the meat to become tender and fall apart easily. Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks.
- Make a flavorful sauce: A good sauce is essential for tying all the flavors of the carnitas together. You can make a simple sauce by combining diced tomatoes, onions, and peppers in a saucepan and simmering until the vegetables are soft.
- Assemble the burritos: To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread some refried beans on the tortilla, then top with carnitas, sauce, and your favorite toppings. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it up, and enjoy!
