PULLED PORK BARBECUE BURRITOS

PULLED PORK BARBECUE BURRITOS image

We love barbecue and we love burritos, so I decided to "marry" them! This is a great recipe for a busy day. Pick up a container of your favorite barbecue, while on your way home, or use leftover barbecue from the fridge. After you chop a little onion and grate a bit of cheese, the hard part's over! It only takes a few minutes to prepare, is very filling and so delicious!

Ingredients

PER BURRITO:
3/4 cup(s) prepared pulled pork barbecue (see note in step #7)
1 large flour tortilla (chi-chi's is my fave)
1/2 cup(s) grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon(s) chopped sweet onion
3 medium dill pickle chips or 1 sandwich slice
1 teaspoon(s) prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

Warm prepared pork barbecue (if necessary) in microwave or as desired.
Place tortilla in skillet, cover with lid or aluminum foil and warm over medium heat for approximately 1 minute (do not crisp!); remove lid or foil & turn tortilla over; shut off heat.
Sprinkle cheese over tortilla; distribute meat over 2/3 of the cheese, leaving an edge of cheese only, for ease of folding burrito.
Scatter onions over meat; place pickle slices on top of onions; dollop (or squirt) with mustard.
Fold burrito-style and serve.
If preparing multiple burritos, place in oven-safe dish, cover and keep warm in oven set at lowest possible temperature. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
