Add salsa and chipotle peppers; simmer, stirring, until thickened and saucy, about 3 minutes. Stir in fresh coriander.
3. Spoon one-quarter of the pork mixture onto centre of each tortilla; sprinkle evenly with cheese, green pepper and tomato. Fold bottom edge over filling, then sides; roll up.
4. Bake on rimmed baking sheet in 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, until golden, about 7 minutes.

Absolutely a keeper! Going into faves. Loved the smokey flavor of the chipotle and the ground pork. I think these would be equally delicious with ground beef. The only thing I did different was instead of turning the burrito, I spritzed it with oil to make the tortilla crisp up in the oven. Served with slices of avacado. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Delish! I bought a one pound container of ground pork and used the entire package with the same ingredients listed here and forgot to put in the bell pepper. Froze the rest of chipotle peppers in individual dixie cups lined with plastic wrap-hate wasting them and usually you only use one or two. Thank you Boomie for another great recipe! Made for PRMR Holiday game.

What a great-tasting burrito! I didn't use the ground pork called for in the recipe as I had some leftover roast pork that I shredded and proceeded with the recipe from direction #2. There was just enough of everything, and I liked the fact that the burritos were not too dry. A great meal.

These are wonderful burritos. The use of pork was a nice switch. Will make these again.

Delicious burritos! I love the flavor of chipotles and it really came through in this dish. I liked it with the ground pork and think it would be equally good with ground beef. Quick and easy, the whole family loved these - thanks for sharing!
