    Notes

    If you don't like spicy you can substitute tomato paste for the chipotle or just leave it out altogether.
    Place the rest of the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in a ziplock freezer bag and freeze for later.
    This makes 8 large burritos. You can easily adjust the size.

      I have done this recipe with chuck roast 90min,pork loin roast 40min, and chicken breast 25min. They all work great. The chipotle is a little hot for the kiddos.
      So I add one jar medium herdez salsa casera to pot with shredded meat and refried beans. Definitely a family favorite.

      I have not made this in an instant pot. It should work fine though.
