Cooking Steps
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Squeeze pulled pork in package to break up meat; add to hot pan. Using two forks, shred pork into smaller pieces.
-
Add grain blend and al pastor sauce to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly reduced and pork is warmed through, 4-5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, empty contents of salad kit into a large bowl. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like; toss to evenly coat. TIP: Want to save a bowl? Shake the salad, toppings, and dressing in the bag!
-
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
-
Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Place as much pork filling as you like along the bottom third of each tortilla, then sprinkle with Monterey Jack. TIP: Save any remaining filling for another meal!
-
Fold bottom edges of tortillas up over filling. Fold in sides, then roll up tightly from bottom to form burritos. TIP: For less mess, place each tortilla on a large piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper before rolling, then wrap up with the foil or parchment. Simply unwrap as you eat!
-
Halve burritos and divide between plates. Serve with sour cream and salad on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The al pastor sauce divides opinions — many loved its bold, tangy kick, while others found it overpowering or one-note 🌶️. A few felt the flavor resembled cheap fast food; those who enjoyed it called it a favorite.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and easy meal to pull together, with simple steps and easy cleanup.
- Suggestions: Reduce the grain or use just one packet — several reviewers found the rice-to-pork ratio off, with the grains drowning out the meat. Grilling the assembled burritos in a pan with a little butter, or adding the salad inside the wrap, were popular upgrades. One reviewer also suggested adding guacamole, black beans, or a squeeze of lime to round out the flavors.
- Leftovers: The filling makes enough for extra burritos — keep extra tortillas on hand, since the filling often outlasts the wraps. Some found the full portion too large and split one burrito between two people, saving the rest for a second meal.
- Portions: The pork-to-grain ratio frustrated many — less rice and more pulled pork would better balance the burrito. Some also noted the pork was quite fatty, leaving less usable meat than expected.
