Ingredients:
5 cups cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon orange zest
4 cups shredded pork, recipe
follows
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can shoepeg corn drained
1 jar Pico de Gallo or salsa
2 avocados cut into small cubes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 green onions, chopped
Directions:
Toss the cooked rice with orange zest.
Divide the rice evenly among individual serving bowls. Add
warm pork.
Let your guests top their own bowls with black beans, corn, pico
de gallo, and avocado.
Sprinkle on cheese, and spoon a dollop of sour cream on
top.
Finish with the chopped green onions.
Shredded Pork: (I
make the shredded pork a day ahead)
3-4 pounds pork shoulder or Boston butt
2 tablespoon olive oil
coarse salt
coarsely ground black pepper
3 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 onion, coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and ribs removed, chopped
1 orange cut in half (zest removed and saved for the
rice)
Place the pork shoulder/butt in a slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin. Top with onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Squeeze
the juice of one orange over the pork. 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. Strain and de-fat cooking liquid. Reserve the liquid to
use when reheating.
If you cooked the pork earlier, reheat it in a large sauté
pan with the reserved juice.
