We love these pork burritos! I tweaked my Aunt Pennie's original recipe, and now I always make this when friends come over for dinner. I can usually get about 20 to 24 burritos from one batch of filling. Serve them with lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, salsa, avocados, black olives, and more Cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork butt roast with bone
- 1 medium onion , sliced
- 6 cloves garlic , chopped
- 2 packages taco seasoning mix , 1.25 ounce
- 1 can refried beans , 16 ounce
- 1 can diced tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
- 1 can chopped green chiles , 4 ounce
- 1 package shredded Cheddar cheese , 16 ounce
- 20 flours tortillas , 8 inch
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
Instructions

Place pork roast, onion, and garlic into a large pot. Sprinkle one package taco seasoning over top and add enough water to cover roast. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until meat is tender and can be pulled apart with a fork, 2 to 3 hours. Check water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Carefully transfer roast to a cutting board. Discard vegetables, but reserve about 1 cup cooking liquid.

Shred pork with a fork, discarding any excess fat. Place pork into a mixing bowl with refried beans, tomatoes, refried beans, chiles, and remaining taco seasoning. Mix until well combined, adding reserved cooking liquid if mixture is too dry.

Spread pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Fold the bottom and top edges of each tortilla over the filling, then roll from one side to form a burrito.
