Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Rub this seasoning all over the pork shoulder.
- Heat a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork shoulder and sear on all sides until nicely browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the pork shoulder from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir to combine it with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Return the seared pork shoulder to the pot, ensuring it is well-coated with the BBQ sauce mixture.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily.
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, place a generous amount of pulled pork onto each tortilla, followed by a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Serve the BBQ pulled pork burritos warm and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the burrito.
- Try using a different type of BBQ sauce for a unique flavor profile, such as a sweet or spicy variant.
- Consider serving with a side of coleslaw or corn on the cob for a complete meal.
