Step 7

Pour the liquid mixture over the pork in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is very tender and can be shredded easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.

Step 10

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 11

Assemble the burritos by layering the shredded pork, cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro in the center of each tortilla.

Serve immediately, with additional salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
