Spices from Chicago made my Burritos

So, first and foremost:
Sorry again for being super lame and forgetting to update. Between working 13 days in a row, family moving, and then getting to take a vacation to Chicago, I've been a bit flighty. Why Miss Rabbit doesn't post is beyond me. Maybe she's lazy. You guys should all write her and tell her how mean she is for not posting.

So, here's how silly I am. I fly half way across the country, and the only souvenir I bring back? Spices. We went to this God's gift to man little spice shop..Err. The Spice House actually.. And my god I wanted to spend every cent on me. And I wanted to sell an organ and buy more.

I held back. With reserve and help from my friend, I purchased Sunny Oaxaca Ancho-Coffee Rub. Now, I know it was supposed to be a rub, but know what? Nope. I ran with it.

Kobold's Fancy Freaking Pork Burrito

The hardest part? The beans. I hate soaking and cooking beans. It takes forever..


What will you need, G?


  • Pork - I did a pork loin, about 1.6lbs
  • Spices: Yeah, you know what one I did. 
  • About a teaspoon of olive oil
  • Coffee - Strong. 
  • Black beans
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Tortillas
  • What ever else you want in your burrito

So how do we do it?


  • I like to slice a nice grid in my pork. 

  • Shove parts of those grids full of  bits of garlic. Season all over all of this.

  • Oil the bottom of your crock pot and put the pork in it
  • Surround with coffee. 
  • Slow cook this beast. I like to wait until the spices are well cooked into the meat and then baste. Baste with coffee. SO MUCH COFFEE. 

  • Beans: Soak beans. Cook beans. Directions on the package. 

  • Mash the means. 

  • Shred the pork.

  • Make a burrito.
  • I like to put my burritos on the griddle. I admit, my burrito wrapping game is WEEEAAAKKK. 
  • I like corn. I've discussed before how I season and make my corn.
