Roasted Pork Loin Burrito


I like to change things up a bit and this dish is no exception. Most people would simply roast the loin with some spices until it was done but I took things to another level. The first step in my process is I rub a mixture of spices into the meat. I use Mexican oregano, cumin, paprika, and a dash of cinnamon. I keep the fat on and on the opposite side I cut small slits into the meat so it will hold more seasoning. I take the loin and sear it in my cast iron skillet on both sides for 2 minutes per side. Now here is the kicker and brings even more flavor. I take the loin and slice it evenly in half. Then I take sweet mini peppers, yellow onion, and garlic and lay them length wise evenly. I place the top half of the loin back on and put a few more yellow onion as a topper. I bake this bad boy on 325 until fall apart tender. When its done take away the veggies, place in a blender, add some of the stock from the bottom of the roasting pan (strain first, no fat chunks allowed) and blend well. Place this liquid back in the cast iron you seared in and reduce until slightly thickened (salt and pepper to taste). Chop your loin up in a bowl and place the broth you created all over the meat. This seems like a lot of steps but in the end the flavor is amazing. Add some spice to it to balance out the sweetness, I used some fresh diced jalapeno.
