Pork Adobo Burritos With Creamy Tomatillo Ranch and Grilled Tortillas

These pork adobo burritos are a recipe to make and share with other burrito enthusiasts at home. Shredded pork adobo and other ingredients, including Mexican rice, black beans, guacamole, cilantro, queso fresco, and tomatillo ranch sauce, are wrapped in a flour tortilla and grilled. Serve with other hot, crispy, saucy ingredients.

The pork product is created using a three-pound shoulder or butt of pork, rubbed with Mexican adobo sauce, and cooked in a can of Coca-Cola. The soda is used as a braising liquid for the pork. The cooked pork is shredded and mixed with the braising liquid to create a filling. Additional condiments and ingredients served with the pork tortillas include Mexican rice, canned and drained black beans, guacamole and fresh avocado slices, cilantro, queso fresco cheese, and tomatillo ranch dressing.

The pork is cooked if it shreds easily and is juicy, not dry. Warming tortillas will help keep them flexible when wrapped around fillings and keep those fillings from spilling out. Challenges to grilling burritos include spilling and leakage. Completely wrap burritos before grilling to avoid spillage and help them keep their shape as the tortilla cooks.

In the dining room, offer a creamy tomatillo ranch sauce as a complement to burritos for customers who would like more sauce on their burritos. Other leftover pork and burrito fillings can be offered to customers as leftovers, not in tacos or burritos, because burrito fillings will not be crispy when reheated. Reheat tortillas and other ingredients for customers who would like to order fresh, grilled tacos or burritos.
