Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups Simple Fresh Pico de Gallo, recipe follows
  • 2 cups Pork Carnitas, recipe follows
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss the rice with the cilantro and the orange zest. Divide the rice evenly among 4 individual serving bowls. Top with the black beans and half of the pico de gallo. Add warm carnitas and top with the rest of the pico de gallo. Sprinkle on the cheese, and spoon a dollop of the sour cream on top. Finish with the chopped green onions

Easy Pico de Gallo:

  • Salt
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeds removed, and chopped
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon salt with the pinch of sugar. In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes gently with the salt mixture. Add onion and jalapeno and combine. Place the avocado on top of the tomato mixture and squeeze with lime juice to coat the avocado. Sprinkle on the cilantro, and stir to combine. Serve.

Pork Carnitas:

  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder (or 2 1/2 pounds bone-in)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and ribs removed, chopped
  • 1 orange, cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Rinse and dry the pork shoulder. Salt and pepper liberally. Mix the oregano and the cumin with olive oil and rub all over pork. Place the pork in a slow cooker and top with the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Squeeze over the juice of the orange and add the two halves. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high 4 hours. Once the meat is tender, remove from slow cooker and let cool slightly before pulling apart with a fork. In a large saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Press the carnitas into the oil and fry until crusty on one side. Serve.

    Wonderful meal! The first time I followed the recipe as written, wasn't enough seasoning. Second time I doubled the seasoning for pork, browned it before putting in a crock pot and it turned out GREAT! Thank you for this recipe! We like it a lot!

    This is just sooooo good! Easy to make without much hassle at all. The pork cooks all day, and you don't even have to pay it much attention. Definitely don't skip that last step of frying up the pork on one side. It gets so super crispy and enhances the amazing flavors even more. My husband took 1/3 of his serving and wrapped it in a whole wheat tortilla, and he loved it even more. Thanks, Melissa. This is an awesome recipe. :

    AMAZING is an understatement. Double, triple the meat! Leftovers great with added BBQ sauce.
    I skipped last step of frying pork. Will try next time but was perfect with out the added step.
