I'd use it in a Mexican dish - like my Baked Burritos: Usually I
sautee some garlic, onions and peppers (whatever kind I have), add some
salsa, a bit of sweetener (either sugar in the raw or Karo), black
pepper, chili powder, and whatever else I feel like (I usually add
veggies like zuchini, broccoli and/or spinach). Add the meat and some
cooked beans (optional). Wrap in tortillas with some cheese, and place
in an oiled baking dish. Top with a little cheese, cover with oiled
foil, and bake at 350F for 25 minutes.

If you want to use it this way, I'd adjust the spice mixture a bit
while cookin,g leaving out the rosemary and adding some chiles,
oregano, a tad of cumin and some chili powder. You can brown them in a
non-stick skillet, toss them in the crock pot and let them cook
overnight. Cool and refridgerate. The next day (or whenever), use the
meat as above.

You can also do this with beef or chicken. It's a good way to use
leftover meat, too.
