Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- For Grilled Pineapple Salsa:
- 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- While the pork is cooking, prepare the grilled pineapple salsa. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear. Remove from the grill and chop into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the grilled pineapple, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded pork and cook for 5-7 minutes, until crispy.
- To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cooked rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, and crispy carnitas among four bowls. Top each bowl with grilled pineapple salsa, sliced avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
