Crock Pot Pork Carnitas Recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb pork shoulder
- 1 large onion, sliced in big pieces
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 beer
- vegetable oil for searing the meat
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, mix all the spices together, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Rub the meat with the spice mix thoroughly, making sure each piece of meat is fully covered. In a large skillet or a dutch oven, heat some oil and sear the meat on all sides. Make sure you don't crowd the pan, it's best to do it in batches. You want to sear the meat until it has a nice brown color on it.
- Chop up the onion in big pieces and place it at the bottom of the crockpot, followed by the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
- Add the meat on top of the onion in the crock pot, pour the beer and orange juice and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours.
- After about 8 hours remove the meat from the crockpot with a slotted spoon and place it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Take 2 forks and start shredding the meat into smaller pieces. Pour some of the leftover liquid over the meat.
- Place the meat under the broiler, for about 5 to 10 minutes, you should watch it though, each oven is different and you don't want to burn it. Take the meat out, flip it over the other side using a spatula and then place it under the broiler again for another 5 minutes or so. You want to make sure that it's nicely browned.
- Serve on tacos, burritos, tamales, sandwiches, etc.

Skinny Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Skinny Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Ingredients:
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 to 2 tablespoons minced canned chipotles in adobo
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (2 ounces)
Instructions:
In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil. Add chicken. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes; remove skillet from heat. Let chicken steam, covered, until opaque throughout, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl; shred with two forks. Set aside.
While chicken is cooking, make sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add flour, cumin, and chipotles in adobo; cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1 cup sauce to bowl with chicken; toss to combine.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour 1/4 cup sauce into bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Stack tortillas, and wrap in a double layer of damp paper towels; microwave until hot, about 1 minute. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture; roll up tightly, and arrange, seam side down, in baking dish. Cover with remaining sauce, and top with cheese. Bake until hot and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Mexican Rice Recipe
Ingredients
2 | cups | long grain white rice |
1/4 | cup | vegetable oil |
2 | medium | tomatoes, seeded and chopped* |
2 | tablespoons | onions, chopped |
1 | tablespoon | crushed garlic |
4 | cups | hot chicken broth** |
1/4 | cup | peas*** |
1/2 | cup | carrot, chopped |
1/2 | teaspoon | salt |
~ | cilantro leaves for decoration |
Directions
1. Pour the rice into a mesh strainer and rinse until the water runs clear. Shake the strainer to remove all excess water.
2. Place a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat to a sizzle.
3. Add the rice, stir to coat with the oil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until each grain is separate and pale golden—Approximately 8–10 minutes.
4. While the rice cooks place the tomatoes, onions, and garlic in the blender and puree. Strain the mixture through a metal sieve.
5. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour the tomato mixture over the rice. Mix well.
6. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until all of the tomato mixture is absorbed—Approximately 4–5 minutes.
7. Add the hot broth, peas, carrots, and salt, and stir. Return the lid, lower the heat to medium-low and cook until the rice is tender— Approximately 8–10 minutes. If any liquid remains, replace the lid and cook for several more minutes.
8. Remove the rice from the heat and stir. Replace the lid and let sit for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and fluffy.
9. Place the rice on a serving platter and decorate with the cilantro leaves.
