Carnitas Burrito Bowl with Cauliflower Rice
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 head of cauliflower, riced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder chunks and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the onion is softened.
- Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- While the pork is cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use pre-made cauliflower rice.
- In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
- To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top with the cooked carnitas, black beans, corn, avocado slices, salsa, and sour cream.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
