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.
