Pork Carnitas & Roasted Peppers

For tonight’s carnitas, we seasoned brined pork shoulder with chili powder, cumin, and garlic, then braised it until meltingly tender. The hearty spiced pork is served over a bed of brown rice and topped with fajita-spiced poblanos, bell peppers, and red onions charred to smoky-savory perfection. On the side is a hearty helping of refried pinto beans sprinkled with Monterey Jack, plus a tangy cilantro crema that’s perfect for drizzling over the whole dish.
