Tips
Please visit the website for instruction, to make things easier on me I've combined amounts when different portions of the recipe call for the same ingredients.
Directions
For the Carnitas:
Place pork loin and minced garlic into your crock-pot and turn to high. Cook for 2-4 hours. Or turn to low and slow cook for 6-8 hours (for more tender pork!). Remove pork loin and shred with 2 forks. Place shredded pork into a large bowl and add in the rest of the carnitas ingredients and mix.
For the Street Corn:
Mix together all ingredients in a medium size bowl.
For the Cilantro Lime Brown Rice:
In a medium sized pot, on medium/high heat, bring 2 cups of brown rice and 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Then, reduce heat to low and cover for about 35 minutes or until all of the water is evaporated.
Transfer brown rice to a medium sized bowl and let cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Once the rice has cooled a little bit, cut a lime in half and squeeze lime juice onto rice. Do this with both sides of the lime and mix.
Then, chop fresh cilantro. Add about ½ cup of chopped cilantro to your rice. (I just grabbed a handful and that worked perfectly.)
Next, add in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt and MIX.
Serve warm.
To Assemble Bowls:
Place about 2 cups of romaine lettuce on the bottom of your bowl. Then add ¼ of the meat (4 oz.), about ¾ cups cilantro lime brown rice, ½ cup street corn, and ¼ cup black beans.
Serve with fresh lime and more cojita!
