Ditch the fast-casual chain in favor of this absolutely flavor-packed burrito from Chef Akhtar. This Mission-style burrito is chock full of tender Cuban pork pernil, black beans, red rice, queso fresco cheese, and pico de gallo. All of this goodness is piled into a soft flour tortilla, griddled to golden brown perfection, and served up with a side of guacamole. What more could you want?
