# How to Make It:
01 - Combine pork shoulder, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, and onion in slow cooker. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and cook on low setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours until pork reaches fork-tender consistency. Remove pork and shred using two forks. For enhanced texture, crisp shredded pork under broiler for 3 to 5 minutes or in hot skillet until edges develop golden color.
02 - Rinse rice thoroughly under cold running water. In saucepan, bring water and salt to rolling boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover with tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes covered. Fluff gently with fork before serving.
03 - In small mixing bowl, combine sour cream, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until assembly time.
04 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each portion with equal amounts of black beans, corn, romaine lettuce, fresh salsa, and shredded carnitas. Drizzle generously with lime crema. Finish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for brightness.
