Butternut Squash Pork Burritos

These Butternut Squash Pork Burritos combine such a delicious combination of flavors! The sweetness of the butternut squash balances out the heat of the spiced pork, and the crumbly cojita cheese lends a salty bite that just makes everything blend so well together. We got our inspiration for this recipe from one of our favorite restaurants in Boise, Bardenay. They have a butternut squash and black bean wrap that is to die for! So we just played around with ingredients based on that delicious wrap and came up with this! Adding grilled pork gives a healthy boost of lean protein and cooling the whole thing down with avocado sour cream takes it to a whole other level. Plus they’re easy to make! Treat your family to these tasty burritos tonight!
