Carnitas:
In a crock pot, layer the onion, peppers and adobo sauce. Set to low. In a large skillet, spray Pam and then sear all sides of your tenderloin, liberally seasoned with salt, pepper and cumin. Add tenderloin to your crock pot and cook for 10-12 hours. Shred and mix in cilantro.

Shells:
Pour salsa in bottom of your pan. Stuff shells with a mixture of the grain pilaf and carnitas. Warm in the oven and serve.
