• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups cooked brown rice

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless pork tenderloin in a slow cooker. Add low-sodium chicken broth, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 3

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the cooker to absorb the juices.

Step 4

While the pork is cooking, prepare the other burrito components.

Step 5

To make the brown rice, if not already cooked, prepare according to package instructions.

Step 6

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add rinsed and drained black beans, and cook for 5 minutes until heated through. Stir into the cooked rice.

Step 7

Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a layer of the rice and bean mixture on each tortilla.

Step 8

Top with shredded pork, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt.

Step 9

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up to form a burrito.

Step 10

Serve each heart-healthy burrito with a wedge of lime for squeezing over the burrito before eating.

Step 11

Enjoy your heart-healthy pulled pork burrito packed with flavors and nutritional goodness!
