I love carnitas from Mexican restaurants and this has replaced my Mexican food craving, I now make my own burritos and prefer them to restaurants

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 -

Carnitas Delicioso! Carnitas Delicioso!
Somewhat labor intensive, these authentic style Carnitas are SO worth the prep and slow-cook time! I always do the slow-cook of the pork the day before. Day 2 is when I broil/char the pork to serve with my homemade refried beans and warm flour tortillas.Melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and leftovers freeze and reheat very well; so if you're a small household, don't hesitate to make this: cook once, eat 4+ times.
