I made up this recipe for Pork Carnitas using leftover shredded pork. It was fast to make and tasted great - as good as any burrito restaurant.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked shredded pork
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 minced garlic cloves
4 ounces chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 dash pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
5 -6 tortillas
salad greens
chopped tomato
salsa
shredded cheese
sour cream
guacamole
Directions:
1. Reheat cooked rice with 1 cup of chicken broth. Simmer rice until all liquid is absorbed.
2. Cook shredded pork in pan with remaining chicken broth, garlic, green chilis, cumin, chili powder, pepper and red pepper (optional) for 15 - 20 minutes. Can add additional chicken broth if needed.
3. Serve pork and rice with tortillas and top as you like with other ingredients.
