Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk 1½ tablespoons of the vinegar, thyme, ¾ teaspoon of salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Add the olive oil slowly, whisking.
-
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the pork into ¼-inch slices, and then cut the slices into ¼-inch strips. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil over high heat.
-
Add ½ the pork, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through and just beginning to brown. Remove.
-
Heat the remaining cooking oil and cook the rest of the pork, seasoning it with the remaining salt.
-
Return all the pork to the pan. Stir in the barbecue sauce, cumin, the remaining vinegar, and ⅔ (about 1 cup) of the cheese.
-
Spread some of the pork mixture in a line just below the center of each tortilla. Roll up the burritos and put them seam-side down in a small baking dish.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for about 2 minutes longer until the cheese melts and the filling is hot.
-
Meanwhile, put the lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumber into the bowl and toss. Put the salad on plates and top with the burritos.

Serve and enjoy.
