I made carnitas from a package (Del Real brand from Costco) and it was pretty good - pan fried it. Refried beans from a can, but the star was the "Mexican" rice. I started with frozen, vacuum sealed leftover rice, heated with part of a can of diced tomatoes with Hatch chilies, some tomato paste, water, sugar, garlic and cumin. Very nice!
