Tonight's dinner was Tortilla Crusted Tilapia and Lime Cilantro Rice, like the rice you get at Chipotle or Qdoba, with some chili beans.

This is a very flavorful roast. We cut up the meat after baking tonight for pork burritos. This would also be great in tacos or enchiladas or as the meat in a chili, or just on its own with a side of beans and rice.
