Pulled Pork Burritos with Cheesy Sour Cream Sauce

I love southern pulled pork (what we call barbecue) and I love burritos. These Pulled Pork Burritos with Cheesy Sour Cream Sauce marry the two together. And you can’t go wrong with anything covered in a cheesy, creamy sauce!

Type Of Pork To Use

For these Pulled Pork Burritos, you can use some leftover pulled pork that you’ve cooked in the crock pot or you could get a container of pulled pork at the grocery store. Look for it near the packaged lunch meats. My favorite thing to do is to get a pound of pulled pork from my favorite bbq restaurant. If the pulled pork you use doesn’t have any or only a little sauce, you will want to add a few tablespoons of BBQ sauce to it for flavor.

Other Ingredients

Because pulled pork has so much flavor on its own, I kept the other filling ingredients simple. Just some cooked Mexican rice from one of those packets at the grocery store and some shredded cheese. They all get wrapped up in a flour tortilla and baked until crispy.

While they bake, you make a delicious cheesy sour cream sauce to spoon over them.

How To Serve

The sauce really helps flavor these burritos up but I also like to add some salsa and fresh cilantro. Some diced avocado or guacamole also enhances the flavor. And don’t forget some Frozen Peach Margaritas!

Can I Make These Ahead Of Time?

The burritos can be assembled ahead of time, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. I recommend making the cheesy sauce just before serving. You can have the ingredients pre-measured and make it quickly while the burritos are baking.

How To Make Pulled Pork Burritos Spicy

My favorite way to make these burritos spicy is to serve them with lots of Cholulu Hot Sauce. Another option is to add some chopped pickled jalapenos to the filling.

This recipe is totally easy enough for a weeknight meal.
