Despite our previous plans of cutting out certain meats from our diet, my husband and I decided to start with beef. Given this, pork is still in our diet and so today I made pork carnita burrito bowls for dinner. This is what we usually order when we hit up Chipotle or Qdoba so why not recreate it at home?
Pork Carnitas:
1 lb pork shoulder
seasonings – salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chile powder, cumin
oil for frying
Season pork shoulder with spices.
Place in a dutch oven or deep skillet with hot oil.
Brown pork on all sides until thoroughly cooked.
Remove from pan and allow it to rest on paper towels
Burrito Bowl:
brown rice
chopped lettuce
sour cream
spicy mango peach salsa
Place a bed of brown rice on your serving plate.
Top with pork carnitas, lettuce, sour cream and salsa.
* You can also include beans, cheese, guacamole… whatever works for you!
