    Tex-Mex Carnitas,From Tastes & Tales From Texas… with love by Peg Hein, c. 1984. This dish of shredded pork wrapped in flour tortillas is a slightly different and delicious version of an enchilada.,These carnitas are the best Ive had. used a home made taco seasoning and they paired beautifully.,We had left over pulled pork and I decided to try this recipe to make something “new” with it. We loved it! I followed the recipe and then teamed it with a side of Mexican Street Corn – delish!
