Notes

1. The Pork Carnitas used in this recipe are flavoured. If you are using unflavoured cooked protein as a substitute (eg. poached chicken), toss the chicken with a pinch of salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and onion or garlic powder if you have it.

2. If using frozen corn, allow to defrost slightly to ensure they cook through.
