How to make Leftover Pulled Pork Burritos
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
Prepare the rice according to the package directions.
In a medium bowl, toss the smoky pulled pork with 1/2 cup of the green enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin, diced green chiles, cilantro, prepared rice, salt, and pepper.
Spray an oven-safe baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. I love using this oven-safe 6.5 x 14.25 inch platter but you could also use an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
Spread 1/4 cup of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Scoop half of the pork mixture into each tortilla.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, divided evenly between the two.
Roll up the burritos, folding the ends in like an envelope as you roll.
Place the burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the burritos.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.

Excellent, easy to prepare, and fast to make and serve with minimal steps on this recipe. I prepared this exactly as your recipe calls for using a Butcher Box Pork Butt that I smoked over Hickory for twelve hours before pulling. Definitely, something I will repeat many more times. I think the Serving Plates you listed would make the presentation perfect, but sadly they are not in stock with no known restock time frame. Thanks for sharing this.

Fantastic, so good, my only issue is is that this is 100% an enchilada and not a burrito.
