Gather all of your ingredients before cooking
Rinse rice under cold water.
Add to a saucepan with water and salt.
Bring to the boil, then reduce to low and cover.
Cook for 10–12 minutes until tender.
Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Toss sliced pork with olive oil, lime juice and Al Pastor seasoning.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook pork in a single layer for 6–8 minutes until caramelised and fully cooked.
Spoon rice into bowls.
Add cooked pork on top.
Arrange avocado, sweetcorn, onion and tomatoes around the bowl.
Finish with fresh coriander and lime.
The pork should have caramelised edges with a deep red colour from the seasoning. The rice should be fluffy and separate, not sticky. The bowl should look vibrant with contrasting colours and fresh toppings.
Add sour cream or Greek yoghurt for creaminess. Drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat. Swap rice for quinoa or lettuce for a lighter option.
Use diced chicken thighs instead of pork.
Store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
Add shredded red cabbage or pickled onions.
Add sliced jalapeños or chilli flakes.
