Carnitas Burritos

Ingredients

• ½ pound of shredded pork (Use meat from the Roast Pork in the Crock Pot for this.)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 carrot, shredded
• ½ onion, chopped fine
• 1 can of diced green chiles, or one large roasted and peeled relleno chile, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 4 burrito size tortillas, any flavor you like
• Sour cream, salsa, grated cheese, and chopped cilantro

Preparation
Cook the pork in the oil until it browns. Remove from the pan.
Cook the vegetables in the oil until they are tender.
Return the pork to the pan and add the green chiles and spices. Cook another 5 minutes.
Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave, or on a low flame of a gas stove.
Place a spoonful of meat filling in the center of a tortilla and roll up.
Top with sour cream, salsa, cheese, and cilantro.
This may be served with rice or beans on the side.
