How to Serve
- Since this meat has been prepared in a shredding type of way, it can be made into burritos using a flour tortilla. You can also prepare your flour tortillas ahead of time by warming them a bit.
- Burritos are always delicious when served with a variety of toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, black olives, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and covered in red sauce.
- As for sides, you can’t go wrong with serving the wet burrito alongside white rice, brown rice, refried beans, black beans, and salsa.
- You can also turn this recipe into a burrito bar. Gather everything you need in addition to any other favorite condiments and open a self-serve-style burrito bar.
- Add everything to the slow cooker (juice the limes over the pork).
- Cook on LOW for 9-10 hours or until the pork is ultra tender.
- Remove the pork onto a large plate and shred, discard any fat.
- Degrease the sauce in the slow cooker by laying a paper towel over, then discard.

Make into burritos and serve!
- A chuck roast, or chicken breasts can be substituted for the pork.
- Place any remaining pulled pork into an airtight container and store in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat the cooked pulled pork burrito mixture in a large pan over medium high heat or in the microwave until warmed throughout.
