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?
Here is my recipe for Pork Carnitas w/a Spicy Mango Peach Salsa I made earlier:
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!
