Notes

1. I like to make this with homemade chicken broth/stock instead of sour cream if I have it on hand. It has to be unsalted stock otherwise it will be too salty because store bought refried beans is already quite salty, which is why I use sour cream instead of store bought broth to loosen the thick gloop that comes out of the can to make it like what you get at restaurants.

2. Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos nutrition per taco, for Pork Carnitas + tortilla only (because I cannot be held responsible for how and what toppings you pile on!)
