Pulled Pork Burrito Bowl
The best thing about making a pulled pork burrito bowl is that you get everything you love about burritos, but you’re not constrained by the size of your wrap (although we like having a handful of Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps on hand for wrapping it all up)! Packed full of veggies, this pulled pork burrito bowl is also slightly healthier than the usual burrito.
You can serve your pulled pork Mexican bowl with a side of either our Mexican Corn or a large dollop of our Gran Luchito Mango and Habanero Salsa.

Ingredients
For The Pork:
- 350g / 12 oz pulled pork (this is our recipe for pulled pork)
For The Rice:
- 100g / 3 ½ oz rice (we used basmati & wild)
- 250ml / 1 cup water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (for seasoning)
For The Vegetables:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pepper, cut into strips (we used a yellow one, but any will do)
- ¾ red onion, sliced in half moons
- 1 small tin sweetcorn, drained
For The Guacamole:
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ lime, juice
- Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped
- ¼ red onion, finely diced
To Serve:
- 128g / 1 cup Gran Luchito Cantina Beans
- Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps
- Salad leaves
- 100ml sour cream
- Handful of coriander, finely chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
How to make it
- Begin by preparing the rice. Place the dry rice in a saucepan with the water (1 cup will do for 2 people). Season with a little salt, place a lid on it and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat as low as possible, then continue cooking until the water is absorbed and your rice is cooked through.
- Next on to the vegetables. Heat a griddle pan at a high temperature with a little olive oil. Add the peppers, red onion and sweetcorn, then fry for 5 to 6 minutes and simply season with salt & pepper. Once ready, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the guacamole. Add the avocado flesh into a bowl, and mash it with a fork. Add the lime juice, coriander, and red onion and simply season with salt and pepper.
- Heat your pulled pork in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes ( at 180ËšC/360ËšF) cover with foil to stop it from drying out.
- Warm up the Cantina Beans in a saucepan, and the Soft Taco Wraps (if using) over a hot non-stick pan.
- Assemble your burrito bowl by firstly adding a bit of rice into your bowl, then a handful of salad leaves, a few spoonfuls of pulled pork, the fried vegetables, followed by warm Cantina Beans, a dollop of guacamole, a drizzle of sour cream, and a sprinkle of coriander and lime. Serve with warm Soft Tacos on the side.
