  4. Heat half the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in one layer 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until it reaches 145°F (63°C); move to a plate and rest 3 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining canola oil to the skillet, then the onion and green bell pepper with the last third of the salt; cook 5 minutes until softened and browned at the edges.
  6. Stir in the pinto beans and cook 2 minutes until hot, then return the pork and drizzle with the remaining lime juice.
  7. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet about 20 seconds per side.
  8. Fill each tortilla with brown rice, the pork mixture, romaine and a spoonful of the lime yogurt sauce, sprinkle with the remaining cilantro, fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
