CARNITAS BURRITO 🌯 Forget Chipotle, this burri

CARNITAS BURRITO 🌯
Forget Chipotle, this burrito is king 👑
Personal note : Last time I made Carnitas I did a tripe batch and froze the meat into single servings and put it out in our shop deep freezer. Whelp not too long later a bear broke into the shop and ate EVERYTHING. While this was frustrating it wasn't until I saw the torn apart carnitas containers in the woods that I yelled "No!!" in anguish. From then on out I now store my precious cargo (i.e. Carnitas) in our inside freezer. Lesson learned.
