Pork and Bean Burritos
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of pork loin, cut into small cubes
- 1 can (15 ounces) of refried beans
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 1/2 cup of diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced pork loin and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the refried beans, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Divide the pork and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each one.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pork and bean mixture on each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them up tightly to form burritos.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a heated skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the pork and bean burritos hot, with your choice of toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
