What is the whole POINT of this post??!?!

Besides me telling you about these awesome burritos (they were awesome) I have decided that I want to give you a present for my birthday.

You’ve seen me post a couple of recipes about my newest cookbook, Slow Cooker Revolution. I am seriously in love with this cookbook. I love my slow cooker, I use it all the time. I even have a smaller slow cooker that I use for dips mostly (and desserts!). What I like most about this cookbook is that it’s more than just throwing stuff in the slow cooker and letting it do it’s thing. While there are some recipes that throw everything into the slow cooker and it comes out great, there are other recipes that just fall flat. By doing a little extra grunt work before putting everything into the slow cooker, the flavor comes out 1000x more.

Well, the lovely people at America’s Test Kitchen are letting me giveaway a copy of Slow Cooker Revolution to one of my readers! Chock full of 200 recipes, from breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, sides, and everything in between, even if you don’t win this copy you need to buy this book if you love slow cooker’s like I do!

Pork Burritos

From America’s Test Kitchen

Pork Filling

• 2 onions, minced
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 minced canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 15oz can tomato sauce
• 2 tsp sugar
• 3lbs boneless pork butt roast, trimmed and halved
• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Microwave onions, chili powder, oil, garlic, chipotles, coriander and cumin in a bowl, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.

Stir tomato sauce and sugar into slow cooker. Season pork with salt and pepper, add to slow cooker, and coat evenly with sauce mixture. Cover and cook until pork is tender, 9-11 hours on low or 5-7 hours on high.

Transfer pork to large bowl, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces, discarding excess fat. Let remaining liquid settle for 5 minutes, then skim the fat off the top.

Toss shredded pork with 1 cup braising liquid. Stir in lime juice. Add more braising liquid if necessary.

To Make Pork Burrito:

• 2-4 large whole wheat tortilla
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup cooked white rice
• juice of 1-2 limes
• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 1 can green chilies
• 2 avocados
• 1-2 cups shredded cheese

Combine rice with half of chopped cilantro and half of lime juice and mix thoroughly. Warm beans in microwave 1-2 minutes. Combine tomatoes with remaining cilantro and lime juice and green chilies. Mash avocados and set aside.

To assemble burritos, first warm tortilla in microwave for 20 seconds. Then layer rice, beans, avocado, tomatoes, pork and cheese on top. Fold in the sides then roll the burrito. Cover in foil. To eat, unwrap the burrito from the foil. Eat!
