INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Pork Shoulder
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1 Lime wedge
Carnitas Spice Mix (blend of cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper)
1/4 cup Orange Juice
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder generously with the Carnitas Spice Mix. Place the pork in a slow cooker with the orange juice, ensuring it is mostly covered by the liquid.
Slow cook on low for 6-8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Once done, preheat your broiler. Shred the pork using two forks and spread it out on a baking sheet. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the pork and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the edges become crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro lime rice by combining the cooked white rice with chopped fresh cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice (from about 1 wedge), and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Mix well.
Assemble your bowl by layering the cilantro lime rice at the base and topping with the crispy pork carnitas. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of tangy, savory flavors.
