Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into large chunks.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker.

Step 4

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the pork and vegetables.

Step 6

Stir to combine, ensuring the pork is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Step 8

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker and mix it with the juices and vegetables.

Step 9

Stir in the drained black beans and continue to cook on low for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or on a warm skillet until pliable.

Step 11

Place a generous spoonful of the pulled pork mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 12

Top with a dollop of low-fat sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 13

Roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.

Step 14

Serve each burrito with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
