  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Season the pork shoulder with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning on all sides.
  • To the slow cooker, add the pork, onion, garlic, Mediterranean recipe base, crushed tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey. Mix gently to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily.
  • Once cooked, remove the pork and shred using two forks. If there are lots of liquid, tip some out into a bowl and discard, so that it doesn’t saturate the burrito wrap. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir through the black beans, corn, and coriander.
  • To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the pulled pork mixture into each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and roll up into burritos.
  • Serve warm, or toast in a sandwich press for extra crunch.

Notes

  • Freezer-friendly: Assembled burritos freeze well. Wrap individually in foil or baking paper, then place in a zip-lock bag or stacked on their own. Freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost in the microwave (without foil) for 2 minutes. Reheat in the oven or sandwich press from frozen.

  • Dump bag-friendly: Add all ingredients except the black beans, corn, coriander, tortillas, and cheese to a large zip-lock bag. Freeze flat. Defrost overnight and cook as directed, adding the remaining ingredients after shredding.
 • Oven-friendly: Preheat oven to 160°C. Place all base ingredients into a Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 3.5–4 hours, or until pork is tender and shreds easily. Stir through beans, corn, and coriander before assembling burritos.
