Carnitas in Red Sauce
We went to a party and were given some carnitas, and since Jorge doesn't like to eat the same thing two days in a row, I got creative and used the same carnitas to make a different version, and he loved it 😊👍✨♥️ (You can also make this with cooked, fried, and shredded pork) 👍🏵️

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I didn't peel the potatoes, but that's up to you. Cut them into medium cubes and cook them with a little salt (Remove them from the water when they are almost done, still a LITTLE HARD)
- 2
Blend the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cumin with a little water
- 3
Heat the carnitas in a pot, and once they are hot, add the blended sauce. Let it simmer over medium heat until it changes color
- 4
Once it changes color, add the drained potatoes and let them cook until fully done. Check the salt; in my case, it didn't need more because the carnitas were already salty, and with the sauce, they turned out great ♥️✨
- 5
You can leave it on the heat longer until the excess water evaporates or to your liking 👍✨ and that's it, we're done 🎉🎉👏♥️🏵️

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.

Crispy Pork Carnitas Crispy Pork Carnitas
My daughter sent me this recipe and it is great. Carnitas is the Mexican version of our pulled pork. This version uses some interesting spices and it cooks in the pork fat. Definitely worth a try. Makes for a great filling in tacos or fajitas but they can also be served with rice or potatoes.

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.

Carnitas Cornbread Carnitas Cornbread
This is basically Mexican cornbread using carnitas meat instead of hamburger. Making the carnitas is the only somewhat time-consuming step, which I usually do the day before because I'm old and get tired quicker. But it's really worth the effort and time because this cooking method imparts incredible flavor and tenderness to the pork. If you're questioning the use of lard, or wanting to substitute a different fat (like shortening), do a quick internet search and you'll learn that lard is a lot healthier than previously thought. Use lard.If you don't have picky eaters like I do, you can add some of the garnishes to the cornbread casserole before baking, like the salsa, jalapeños, black olives. -
