Notes
You can swap pinto beans for other canned beans in your pantry. The same goes for salsa and cheddar cheese—your preferred options will also work.
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.
If you’re in a hurry, this is a great meal to make in advance and keep in the freezer until ready to be reheated and eaten. This can last up to two weeks for optimal freshness.
