Sweet Pork Burritos with Homemade Spinach Tortillas

Sweet Pork
1 1/2-2 lbs pork (boneless)
1 C brown sugar
1 C salsa (I used Sam's Choice mild)

Put ingredients in crock pot in order listed. Cook on high 4-5, until shreddable. It will look like there is too much water, but it will be perfect (if at anytime it looks like it's burning, add some water, I haven't had this problem ever though). Shred pork, leaving liquid in crock pot. Dump shredded pork back in crock pot and stir. Keep warm until ready to eat. Serve in tortillas with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream.

Spinach Tortillas
3 C flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 TBS vegetable oil
1 can spinach

Mix spinach with a blender wand (or in a blender/food processor) until it looks like baby food. Heat for 1 1/2 minutes. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add vegetable oil and mix in with your hands until it is in pea sized balls (or smaller). Add spinach. Mix with hands (watch out, it's hot!). Make 1" sized balls. Place on floured surface, cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat 10" size frying pan to medium heat. Roll one tortilla on floured surface. Place in frying pan. Flip after 30 seconds or until little bubbles come up. Take off pan after 30 more seconds. Keep finished tortillas covered to keep them soft.
