Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and disinfect the meat, and prepare all other ingredients.
- 2
In a pot, add the lard and let it melt and reach a high temperature. Add all the other ingredients along with the meat. Be careful, as it may splatter. Let it boil for about 25 minutes.
- 3
In a pan, heat oil over low heat and add the peppers and onion. Guacachile is an emulsion of peppers with oil, let it heat for about 10 minutes and rest for another 20 minutes. Once cooled, blend until you get a thick mixture.
- 4
In a tortilla press, flatten the masa, spread a little bean paste, and fold into a triangular shape. Then cook it on a griddle.
- 5
Finally, cut the carnitas and place them on the tetela, garnish with guacachile, radish, and purslane or any herb of your choice. Add cheese foam for a creamy flavor.

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 -
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
