Directions
The Best Ever Carnitas,This is an adopted recipe from Mean Chef. This looks really great to me and can’t wait to try it, as I really enjoy Carnitas. Mean Chef word’s are: The special ingredient is Pepsi and this is fabulous. you can use carnitas in tortillas, serve like BBQ pork or great at a picinic on rolls. Recipe from Rio Bravo,Is this delicious? Yes!! Is it authentic Mexican street or restaurant carnitas? No, and you cant make those at home. It has to do with a lot of lard with many, many servings of carnitas cooked in it. I add some cinnamon, I add more dry spice mix before browning, and I dump the browning fat in the liquid I braise in. The water evaporates, and the fat remains to brown and crisp up the meat.,Excellent recipe. I didn’t have pineapple so I substitutued with orange juice. After marinating overnight, I mixed the seasonings in a bag and coated the meat, then fried. I added the fried meat to the crock pot, added the remaining marinade to the pan and scraped up the brown bits. Let this simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes then added it to the crock pot along with enough Pepsi to cover the meat. Cook on low for 8 hours then shredded and served in tortillas with cabbage, cheese, cilantro, and avocado…excellent flavor!
