Ground Pork Burritos

I was in the mood to cook something Mexican.  Thought about tacos, enchiladas and then saw the ground pork while at the grocery store.  Yes, ground pork burritos are exactly what I'm hungry for right now.  

Let's make our seasoning blend first.  This will make a nice amount to store in an airtight container in the pantry.  

3 T. chili powder

2 T. ground cumin

1 t. granulated garlic

1 t. onion powder

1/2 t. dried oregano

1 t. sea salt

1 t. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 - 1 t. cayenne (you decide your heat level!)

2 t. smoked paprika

2 t. cornstarch

Mix together in a small bowl and store in an airtight container.  And remember the heat level is relative here.  I love cumin and cayenne.  You can always more, you can't take away!  Adjust to your taste please.

For the burritos:

1 pound ground pork

1 medium onion, chopped

1 t. minced garlic

2 1/2 - 3 T. of the seasoning mix recipe listed above

2/3 cup water

Brown the pork and onions in a medium skillet over medium high heat.  

Add seasoning mix and water and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and let cook for 3 - 4 minutes until mixture thickens.

To make the burritos you'll need:

Large flour tortillas
Refried beans (heated over low heat in a small saucepan)
Salsa
Shredded Mexican style cheese
Sour cream
Cilantro

Heat the tortillas according to package directions.  Add meat mixture and your choice of fillings.  Roll up the tortilla and add additional salsa and/or cheese on top.
