    When assembling the burrito, it’s important to place the cheese first so that when you reheat the wrapped burrito the cheese melts into this delicious gooeyness. You can also use mozzarella if you want an even more cheesy flavor. 

    When reheating the pulled pork, keep an eye out for if it is drying out. If it is, adding a little water or barbeque sauce will help keep it warm and delicious.
