Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground pork
– 1 small onion, finely diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup cooked rice
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup salsa
– 4 large flour tortillas
– Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the pork. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the pork mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast for about a minute.
4. Add the black beans and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir everything together until well mixed and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated.
6. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
7. Divide the pork and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, spooning it down the center of each tortilla.
8. Top the filling with the remaining cheddar cheese, salsa, and any additional toppings you desire.
9. To fold the burritos, tuck in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
10. Place the burritos seam-side down on a heated skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
11. Once cooked, remove the burritos from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half or serving whole.
12. Serve your delicious Ground Pork Burritos with extra salsa, sour cream, and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
