Nut Free

All the flavors of a taco truck in your very own kitchen! This breakfast burrito is made in the traditional Mexican style of slow-roasting an adobo-rubbed pork shoulder. Chef Akhtar serves the tender, smoky pork alongside scrambled eggs, refried pinto beans, and melty Chihuahua cheese. All that goodness gets wrapped up in a spinach tortilla, griddled to perfection, and served with a cooling lime crema to dip or drizzle.
