For the burrito I made here is how to make.
First you will need to make the tomatillo sauce. I simply followed the recipe that Rebooted Mom made, click here to see how.
Next you will get a burrito sized tortilla and add in your pork, normally I add in about 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound. Then I found in the two sides and then roll up. Next I place in a oven safe dish and add the tomatillos sauce on top with a hand full of cheese. I place in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes. Once done I use my spatula and enjoy.
