South of the border: Tex-Mex carnitas and cilantro cauli-rice

We love Mexican food. And we love pork (see this for proof). Mexican pork, then? Yes, please! Today our Tex-Mex carnitas get an early start in the Crockpot. 

I found this recipe for carnitas when we did our initial trial of Paleo eating in October 2012, and I was also in the midst of a thrice-weekly Crockpot challenge. 

Look at those colorful ingredients! How can this not be good?

We are always happy to see this come around in the meal rotation. Tonight I'm trying a side of cilantro cauli-rice from the Practical Paleo cookbook.
