- While the pork is cooking, prepare the guacamole. In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and salt to taste. Set aside.
- Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss it in the cooking juices.
- To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cooked white rice, black beans, and corn among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the shredded pork, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Add a generous scoop of the prepared guacamole on top of each bowl.
