Slow-Cooked Pork Burrito Bowls

320 Calories Per Serving

This meal was awesome! It was quick and easy (as usual) and there was so much left over that the hubs had it for lunch a couple of times. The pork was very tender and had a lot of flavor. One thing that was a little confusing was that the recipe calls for 6 cups of water but never tells you when to use it, however they may have meant to cook the rice in it. Also, there is no liquid added to the crock pot with the drained beans and the meat (maybe that's where they wanted the water to go?). I left it like this and it did make the beans a little crispy, but it all still turned out great. I think if you added water to the pot, the meat wouldn't have turned out as well. I give this meal a 10 for sure, and the hubs agrees. I'll definitely be making it again soon!
