This got rave reviews at our house. I used pork tenderloin cut into very small cubes and let it marinate for 3 hours. I've never had a burrito before with lime and cilantro, but it is so delicious that I'll never use any other marinade from now on. They tasted much better than burritos we've had in Mexican restaurants and we will be making these again often!

We so enjoyed this, even on the second night. Next time I would do a bit more onion up, or maybe mine were just too small. I used corn tortillas because of the lower GI for hubby, otherwise followed directions as written. Well worth the bit of extra time invested to make it. I'll be making it again for sure. Thanks for sharing!
