Instructions:

Pork Roast:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare the Pork: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder.
3. Sear the Pork: Heat a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned.
4. Roast the Pork: Add chicken broth and lime juice to the pot. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
5. Rest and Shred: Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before shredding.

Mexican Rice:

1. Prepare the Rice: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly browned.
2. Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the Tomato and Spices: Stir in the chopped tomato, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Simmer the Rice: Pour in the chicken broth and add the frozen peas and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Season with salt to taste.
