Pork Carnitas Tacos

It's said that the best carnitas are Michoacán-style, but I'm not from Michoacán and my carnitas might not be the best, but they're still very good, if I may say so.

Carnitas Carnitas
I concocted my carnita recipe from a few other recipes. All ingredients can be adjusted to your taste. I usually put it in crockpot but I have been known to put in on the grill as well. Some recipes call for added fat but I feel the pork produces enough on it's own it's not needed.Stephanie

Authentic Mexican Carnitas Authentic Mexican Carnitas
There are other recipes for carnitas, for example slow cooked in chicken broth. I found that the only way to get that authentic Mexican flavor is to use the manteca "lard". Also DO NOT use American style Coca-Cola, it doesn't have the raw sugar the Mexican Coca-Cola has. Hellbound78 -
