Carnitas 3 Ways

    My husband and I enjoyed this soooo much tonight! By itself the pork was not "fabulous" but with some avocado, corn tortilla, sour cream, tomato, red onion and cilantro, it was one of the BEST things I have eaten in months. Only used half the pork roast with the crock pot then grilled method. The other half is still cooking with 1/2 cup of water to be shredded later tonight and frozen. My husband has asked for this again. Thank you for a great staple recipe!

    Carnitas 3 Ways,I love experimenting with spices. I came up with a way to make Carnitas on the grill. Instead of heating up the kitchen, throw all your seasoning on the meat and marinade overnight or all day…. cook in a foil packet on the grill…. Family favorite…. 😉 Three ways to cook this dish…. so it can be enjoyed year round. My favorite is slow cooking then grilling for 5 minutes.. gives a nice tender texture and crisp chared outside with great flavor! Sometimes I will add a cup of water to the crockpot making the meat very tender and can be shredded for burritos. This is my Burrito Filling Recipe. So anyway you cook it…. they come out GREAT!,My husband and I enjoyed this soooo much tonight!
