Definitely explore that GWS thread about cheap cooking, and learn to prepare more meals for yourself in general. You can buy a giant crockpot for dirt cheap at a thrift store and use that to make enough carnitas burritos to last for weeks for like $10. Rice dishes are incredibly cheap as well, and taste a lot better than fast food when done right. For one person, you could probably cut your food bill nearly in half.

hitachi posted:Whats your recipe for this? It was taken from a goon, most likely in the GWS cheap cooking thread. I can't find the source anymore but I'll write up as many of the details as I have. Most of the work is done by the slow cooker so this produces a lot of food that you can keep handy in the freezer for like 30-60 minutes of actual effort. Pork butt is a cheap cut of meat, and you can get a lot of mileage out of a small block of cheese if you shred it yourself. A few more dollars and you've got yourself a complete meal. Burritos Blanco
Chop the onion, peel the garlic, and throw it all in the slow cooker. Cut the pork shoulder in to large (2-3 inch) chunks and toss those in to slow cooker as well. Pour the can of tomatoes over all that and give it a quick mix, then let it sit and cook on low for like 8 hours. After about 8 hours, the pork is super tender and there will be a lot more liquid in there so use tongs to grab the meat and put in to a large bowl. Grab some of the onion, garlic, and tomato as well. Use this step to remove any big chunks of fat, gristle, bone, etc that you don't want in the final product. When you've got your bowl ready, shred everything using two forks. Add some enchilada sauce and jalapenos, then stir it all up. Make an assembly line to build the burritos, giving each tortilla a scoop of meat, some beans, cheese, and top with cilantro. Make them as big or small as you want, but I usually end up with like 8-10 large burritos out of a 3+ lb cut of pork. Roll them up burrito style, then cover in plastic wrap. Use gallon sized freezer ziplocs to store a few plastic wrapped burritos each. They keep well in the freezer and can be reheated directly from there.
