Instructions
Place your pork roast in a slow cooker and add your chipotle chili, your oregano, salt, pepper, cumin and paprika over top.

Once your roast is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place on a sheet pan to cool.
While it is cooling, make your black beans and cole slaw (recipe above)
Do not discard your cooking liquid yet since we will use it in a bit.
Once cooled, remove any fatty layers and discard and then begin to shred your pork by tearing it with 2 forks.
Once you have shredded all of the pork, add about 2 tbsp of your cooking liquid and drizzle that over your pork
Now sprinkle your brown sugar evenly over the pork and set aside.
pre-heat your broiler.
start to slice your avocado and place in a bowl and then squeeze your lime over top to prevent browning and set aside.
In a medium pot over hight heat add your butter or olive oil and then add your rice.
Mix your rice around well to coat it in your oil for about 2 minutes.
Now add your water and bring to a boil.
Once the water comes to a boil, add your salt, stir and add your lid and lower the heat to low.
Cook rice until it is ready (no more water is left), about 5 minutes.
While rice is cooking, place your pork under the broiler to crisp up, about 2-3 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
