If you\u2019re looking for a fabulous budget-friendly recipe look no further than these Pulled Pork Black Bean Burritos. They start from humble beginnings, a bit of pulled pork, but never in a million years would you guess these are quickly tossed together from leftovers!<\/p>\n
I always make a big batch of these (feel free to cut back if you wish) great for hearty appetites with some left for later or for a make-ahead meal prep situation.<\/p>\n Pulled Pork Black Bean Burritos<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This barely spicy filling of shredded pork, black beans, and rice is one of my all-time favorites, and bonus: it makes a huge batch for practically nothing! Recipes like this can sometimes fail; a mix of ingredients can be dull and tired. But not this one.<\/p>\n It\u2019s carefully crafted with flavor for days and a burst of spice here and there. The Ro-tel jumps in with its bright tomatoes and vibrant green chiles and the Chipotle weaves throughout, emphasizing the smokiness of the luscious pork.<\/p>\n The spices might seem conservative for such a large batch; they\u2019re just an accent. But the cheese! It seems like a lot (ok, it IS) but it\u2019s somehow just right whether you measure in ounces or like I do, with your heart!<\/p>\n Pulled Pork Black Bean Burritos \u2013 it looks like a lot of cheese because it is!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The pulled pork black bean filling makes fabulous burritos!<\/p>\n The Pulled Pork Black Bean filling makes great tacos, especially oven tacos. I don\u2019t have a formal recipe, but here are the basics:<\/p>\n Pulled Pork Black Bean Burritos \u2013 wrapping them makes them better!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is not a spicy filling, just well-rounded, flavorful, and family-friendly. Add more chipotles if you wish or serve with a favorite salsa or two, some mild, some hot, so everyone can choose their poison, so to speak!<\/p>\n My Chipotle\u2019s Copycat Pico de Gallo<\/a><\/em><\/span> and never be wrong but my favorite salsa with these burritos is this Fire Roasted Tomatillo Salsa<\/a><\/em><\/span>. It\u2019s bright and tangy and the flavor is an incredible combination with the pork.<\/p>\n Fire Roasted Tomatillo Salsa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is nothing to making the recipe! There\u2019s no chopping, one pot, and easy clean up. It\u2019s even easier if you have rice in the freezer, too! Rice that has been frozen is less starchy and actually works better.<\/p>\n The key things to be aware of:<\/p>\n It\u2019s not easy to make a small amount of most pork shoulder recipes; get in the habit of stashing some away for future meals. If you don\u2019t have pulled pork, make some!
