Pork Carnitas Tacos

Pork Carnitas Tacos

These incredibly flavorful tacos are served with onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of bright lime. Carnitas served with corn tortillas might be the best thing that ever happened to a piece of pork shoulder. The shredded meat makes this Mexican recipe rich and succulent. I serve them with guacamole and salsa.

The first time I made and ate carnitas left me wondering what had taken me so long. It was a one-way trip, and I remember it to this day.

Carnitas is slow-cooked, well-seasoned pork shoulder with spices, lime and orange. It cooks in its own fat as it renders, creating an out-of-this-world flavor. If you love pork, you will never forget the first time you eat this magical shredded pork.

Encased in a corn tortilla, with avocado and fresh corn salsa on the side, they might be my favorite way of celebrating 5 de Mayo. Add caramel flan for dessert and I'm an extremely happy person.

Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ pounds pork shoulder, cut into large pieces
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder, or smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
  • 2 oranges
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
