Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine diced tomatoes, minced onion, and cilantro in a bowl with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add shredded pork and cook without stirring until the edges turn crispy and golden, 4–5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the pork once, then cook another 2 minutes until most pieces have a crispy crust.

  5. Step 5

    Warm the refried beans in a small pot or microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side, then fill each with pork, beans, and pico de gallo.
