Ingredients
  • 2 cups leftover cooked pork

  • 1 cup white or brown rice

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 medium red bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 whole lime

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    In a medium pot, combine 1 cup rice with 2 cups water (or according to package directions). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

  • 2

    While rice cooks, wash and chop 2 cups broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.

  • 3

    Wash 1 medium red bell pepper, remove the seeds and stem, and slice into thin strips.

  • 4

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

  • 5

    Dice 2 cups leftover cooked pork into bite-sized pieces.

  • 6

    Add the diced pork to the skillet with the broccoli and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

  • 7

    Add the bell pepper strips to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

  • 8

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime over the pork and vegetable mixture. Save the other half for serving.

  • 9

    Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.

  • 10

    Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of the pork and vegetable mixture.

  • 11

    Drizzle each bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil divided among the bowls.

  • 12

    Serve with remaining lime half cut into wedges for squeezing over the top.
