Slow-Cooker Pork and Black Beans with Fresh Salsa

Bright, fresh, and super easy. If you want to add another layer of flavor, sear the pork before adding to the slow cooker.

From Real Simple

Ingredients:
~1 15oz. can black beans
~3/4 cup fresh orange juice
~3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
~3 cloves garlic, chopped
~1/2 tsp. ground cumin
~1/2 tsp. dried oregano
~1 and 1/2 lbs. boneless pork shoulder or butt, trimmed and cut into 2 pieces
~salt and pepper
~1 cup white rice (we always use basmati - it has a great flavor/texture and cooks up nicely every time)
~fresh salsa, avocado, queso fresco, and cilantro for topping

1. Combine beans, orange juice, broth, garlic, cumin, and oregano in slow cooker. Season the pork with salt and pepper and place on top of the liquid. Cover and cook on low until pork is tender - about 7 hours.
2. Transfer meat to a platter or bowl and shred. Return to the slow cooker.
3. Cook rice according to package directions and serve topped with meat and additional toppings.
