I just modified a net recipe & came up with this tasty food:

Easy Pork Carnitas in Tortillas



INGREDIENTS:
olive oil
pork tenderloin (cut in 1/2” slices, pounded, salted & cut into thin strips)
salt
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
grated cheddar cheese or jack or mozzarella . . .
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
flour tortillas

COOKED RICE:
˝ cup washed rice
1 cup chicken broth
Fry washed rice in olive oil & add 1 cup boiling chicken broth. Cover & simmer on low for 20 minutes.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frypan over high heat. Sweat onions & add garlic. Add meat & fry until lightly browned. Add the lime juice, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue to simmer until pork is very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove cover & boil until most - but not all - of the liquid is gone.
3. Fill flour tortillas with a mixture of rice, meat & a generous portion of grated cheddar cheese.
4. Bake the pork in the preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes.

Top with salsa or whatever your fancy or just eat it as is.
