BEEF BARBACOA: Preheat oven to 300°F. Stir together salt, cumin, oregano, chipotle chile powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper and cinnamon in small bowl. Season beef generously all over with spice rub. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add beef and cook until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup Ro*tel for corn salsa. Stir together remaining Ro*Tel and Hunt’s® Hickory BBQ sauce in small bowl; pour over browned beef. Cover beef and bake until very tender, 3 to 3-½ hours.
PICKLED RED ONIONS: Place onions in non-reactive bowl. Pour boiling water over, count to 10, then immediately pour onions into strainer. Shake off the excess water, pour onions back into bowl. Stir in lime juice and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
BLACK BEAN & CORN SALSA: Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans, reserved Ro*Tel tomatoes and salt and heat until hot.
CILANTRO & LIME CAULIFLOWER RICE: Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add riced cauliflower and sauté until hot, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
ASSEMBLY: Remove beef to a serving bowl; shred. Use a large spoon to skim some of the fat from the cooking liquid. Pour cooking liquid over shredded beef. Divide cauliflower rice evenly into serving bowls. Top with salsa, beef, cheese, pickled red onion, pepitas, crema and cilantro.
