Description

This is an easy meal to make and yummy too. It does take some time to cook the pork in the oven, but it is so worth it! Serve with refried beans, if desired.

Ingredients

• Carnitas
• 4-5 lb. bone-in pork shoulder or butt
• 1 t. sea salt
• 1 T. cumin
• 2 T. ancho chili powder
• 1 T. oregano
• 2 T. fresh chopped garlic
• 1 T. olive oil
• Aassembly of the carnitas:
• 1 medium sweet, white onion
• 1 bunch cilantro
• Queso Fresco, optional
• 12-15 corn tortillas

Steps

1. Carnitas:
2. Cut pork shoulder into 2 inch chunks. Cut around the bone as much as possible, but don't worry too much because it will shred off later. Place in a bowl.
3. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat oil on medium high heat. If you pan or Dutch oven can go into the oven later, that is an added bonus!
