Instructions

  1. Prepare rice per package directions. Once done, mix in juice from one lime and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
  2. While the rice is cooking, heat half of the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and peppers.

Remove from the pan and set aside.Add the rest of the oil to the pan, then add the carnitas and cook for 3-5 minutes without stirring, then toss and cook 2-3 more minutes until carnitas are heated through.
  3. Grab 4 bowls and layer on 1/4 of each ingredient- rice, onions, peppers, beans, carnitas, sour cream, corn salsa, and lime wedges.
