How to make Cheesy Smothered 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.
