Carnitas Tacos Recipe

Carnitas Tacos Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   In a large pot, place the pork ribs and cover them with water. Add chopped onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

2. 2

   Slow Cook

   Cover and let the pork simmer on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

3. 3

   Shred the Meat

   Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any bones.

4. 4

   Crisp the Pork

   In a skillet, add a bit of oil and sauté the shredded pork until it is crispy and browned. Add lime juice and mix well.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet. Assemble the tacos by placing the crispy pork on the tortillas, and topping with fresh cilantro and additional lime juice if desired.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the carnitas tacos with your favorite toppings, such as diced onions, salsa, or avocado.
