PORK, BEAN & RICE BURRITOS

Pork, Bean & Rice Burritos image

The combination of spices is key to this slow-cooked pork-it's my family's favorite burrito filling. The aroma that fills the air as the pork slowly simmers is like a Mexican restaurant. A perfect recipe for tailgate parties. -Valonda Seward, Coarsegold, California
