Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • You can find the 9" round disposable foil pans for your burritos for the full restaurant effect: Disposable Foil Pans (just like what Cafe Rio uses)
  • Our rice and beans recipes are SUPER simple too. You definitely want the beans and rice to get the whole experience!
  • We make our sweet pork burritos "enchilada style" by adding more enchilada sauce, topping it with more cheese, and heating in the oven until the cheese is melted. Add shredded lettuce and pico de gallo to the side and you are ready to go!
  • This recipe is for one burrito but can easily be multiplied by however many you need. The sauce recipe can stretch a little to 2 or 3 burritos depending on how much you like to use.
