Easy Pulled Pork Burrito Recipe: The Best Way to Transform Leftovers into a Delicious Meal
Pulled Pork Burritos are a phenomenal solution for transforming leftover pulled pork into an entirely new, incredibly satisfying meal. This recipe takes tender, succulent pulled pork and infuses it with a vibrant mix of warm, aromatic spices, crisp red bell peppers, sweet red onions, and hearty black beans. All these delicious components are then carefully wrapped in warm tortillas, complemented by fresh lettuce, melty cheese, and fragrant cilantro, creating a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. Whether you’re planning for effortless meal prep or need a quick, delicious dinner on a busy weeknight, these burritos are your go-to – they’re perfect for making ahead and freezing!

Not long ago, I enthusiastically shared my Pork Enchilada Recipe, a culinary collaboration with the wonderful Ohio Pork Council. That recipe quickly became a resounding success in my home, proving just how much my family enjoys easy, flavorful Mexican-style dishes featuring pork. This sparked a new mission for me: to create even more accessible and delicious recipes that highlight the versatility of pork.
Today’s featured recipe, Pulled Pork Burritos, continues that delicious journey. It combines leftover pulled pork with fluffy rice, protein-packed black beans, crunchy red bell peppers, a medley of warm spices, rich cheese, and bright fresh cilantro. This combination ensures every bite is packed with savory goodness and satisfying textures. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. You can effortlessly use any leftover pulled pork you might have on hand, or choose to prepare some fresh using my highly-rated recipes such as the Boston Butt Recipe, a classic Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork, or even learn How to Make Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker for a leaner option.
What truly makes this burrito recipe a standout is its incredible flexibility. It’s a fantastic “clean out the fridge” meal, allowing you to incorporate almost any ingredients you have in your pantry or refrigerator. I am a huge proponent of such adaptable and easy recipes! I often prepare a large batch of these burritos, keeping some in the fridge for quick lunches or dinners and freezing the rest for those particularly hectic evenings. Reheating is a breeze, whether you choose your microwave for speed or an air fryer for a wonderfully crispy finish.
If you’re as big a fan of Mexican-inspired pork dishes as my family is, you might also enjoy some of my other popular recipes, including these hearty Stuffed Poblano Peppers, the incredibly simple yet satisfying Easy Ground Pork Tacos, and a comforting bowl of Easy Pork Chili. Each offers a unique way to enjoy delicious pork with vibrant flavors.
