Chili-Rubbed Pork Burrito with Cheese and Veggies

Ingredients

For the Chili-Rubbed Pork:

1.5 lbs pork shoulder or pork loin, cut into chunks

2 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

For the Omelet Filling:

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup cooked ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken)

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced

1/4 cup green sauce (salsa verde)

For the Burrito Assembly:

4 large tortillas (flour or corn)

1 cup shredded white cheese (like Monterey Jack or queso blanco)

1 cup chili (your favorite recipe or canned)

1 cup diced vegetables (like tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Sour cream or guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chili-Rubbed Pork:

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chunks, ensuring they are well coated.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear on all sides until browned. Cook until the pork is tender, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also cook it in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

Make the Omelet Filling:

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set. Add the ground meat, diced bell peppers, and green sauce, mixing until combined. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Burritos:

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

On each tortilla, layer a portion of the chili-rubbed pork, the omelet filling, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.

Top with Cheese and Chili:

Pour the chili over the top of the burritos, and sprinkle additional cheese and diced vegetables on top.

Bake:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
