Pork and Green Chili Burritos

Lyle's favorite burrito place closed and is reopening in a new location at a date unknown. He was really wanting their pork and green chili burrito and being the nice wife that I am, I decided to make it for him (or he specifically asked for it. . . details). And use my fancy crock pot no less. See, fancy!



Full disclosure, this was the second time I have used my crock pot since we have been married. The first time, my sister in law borrowed it, made the dip, and then brought the dip back to my house for a party. So I guess technically, this was my first time. To be honest, I am not a big fan of pot roast or any other stewed meat stuff that I normally associate with crock pot cooking. And since I was lazy, I didn't really look for a recipe. Lyle wanted pork and green chilies, so he got pork and green chilies. Since we were doing burritos, I used a packet of taco seasoning as the rub for the pork butt and I threw an onion in there for good measure. Y'all, it was delicious. And SOO easy.

Here are the ingredients: 
1 pork butt
1 can of green chilies (Should have used two)
1 onion, sliced
1 taco seasoning packet (I used low sodium)

Here is what I did:
Sliced the onion and put it in the bottom of the crock pot. Next, I rubbed the taco seasoning all over the pork and put it on top of the onions. Then I poured the green chilies on top. (I did this all the night before since I was lazy and did not want to get up before Maggie woke up.) It sat overnight in the fridge and the next morning, I just popped it in the base and turned it on low for 10 hours. Once it cooked, I took it out and shredded it, then put the shredded meat back in the crock pot with all the juices for another hour on warm.

It was make your own burrito night in our house so we had tortillas, rice, jalapenos, cheese and sour cream.

Try it. Seriously. It's so good.
