Easy Mexican Pork Burritos
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.
