Originally, the term 'burrito' was a local name for a taco. In modern usage, however, the burrito has come to mean a dish consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients. The modern usage comes from Ciudad Juárez.

Burritos are filled with savory ingredients, most often a meat such as beef, chicken, or pork, and often include other ingredients, such as rice, cooked beans (either whole or refried), vegetables, such as lettuce and tomatoes, cheese, and condiments such as salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, or crema.

The word burrito means 'little donkey' in Spanish, the diminutive form of burro, or "donkey". The name burrito, as applied to the dish, possibly derives from the tendency for burritos to contain a lot of different things similar to how a donkey would be able to carry a large burden.

Ingredients:

For the pork adobo:
1.35kg (3 lbs) pork shoulder
200g (1 cup) Mexican adobo sauce
335ml (12 ounce) coca cola

For the burritos:
12 large tortillas, warmed
630g (3 cups) Mexican rice
600g (3 cups) black beans, cooked or drained and rinsed
250ml (1 cup) guacamole (or 1 large Avocado, sliced)
8g (1/2 cup) coriander (cilantro), coarsely chopped
135g (1 cup) queso fresco, crumbled
250ml (1 cup) creamy tomatillo ranch sauce

Method:

For the pork adobo:
Rub the adobo sauce over the pork then place in a slow cooker along with the coke and cook until fall-apart tender (about 8-10 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high), before shredding the meat and mixing the shredded pork back into the juices.

For the burritos: Assemble the tortillas, wrap and grill before enjoying!
