Place the pork roast, the onion, and the garlic in a large pot. Sprinkle one package of taco seasoning over the top and add enough water to cover the roast. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the meat is tender and can be pulled apart with a fork, 2 to 3 hours. Check the water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Carefully move the roast to a cutting board. Discard the vegetables, but reserve about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Spread the pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese. Fold the bottom and top edges of each tortilla over the filling, then roll from one side to form a burrito.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
