Ingredients

Instructions

  • Weigh your leftover carnitas first and then crisp it up with some cooking spray in a hot pan, stove-top. This makes it SOO good I promise.  Don't skip.
  • Build your bowl by piling in your quinoa (brown rice, cauliflower rice, greens) and topping with crispy carnitas, pico, avocado, mango, slaw or cabbage, green onions, cilantro, cotija, and a drizzle of dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

*I buy the already cooked packages of quinoa from Costco for ease! Brown rice is great too and only slightly higher in carbs. But sometimes every bit counts! Cauliflower rice is a great choice if you're low on carbs.. or a bed of greens of course.
