Pork Tacos

We eat tacos a lot on this house. My kids are good eaters in general, but they’ll eat anything if it’s sandwiched into a tortilla and smothered with sour cream, cheese and salsa!

I love tacos, becayse it lets everyone choose there own adventure and I let the kds build their own tacos exactly the way they want.

These use my famous pork carnitas recipe. It’s slow-roasted overnight, but if you are short on time, you can always speed it up by using a pressure cooker or buying pre-cooked pulled pork from the grocery store.

Pork Carnitas:

• 1 Pork Butt (shoulder, bone-in)

• Salt 

• 2 Oranges

• 3 Limes

• 1 Bay leaf

• 2 Cinnamon stick

Drain blood and completely cover with salt. Place in pan fatty side up and juice citrus over meat, but throw the rinds in for cooking. Add bay leaf and cinnamon sticks. Cover with plastic wrap and foil and cook overnight in the oven at 215 degrees.

Optional toppings are:

• Shredded cheddar

• Cilantro

• Salsa

• Pico de Gallo (grab my 2-minute recipe here)

• Sour cream

• Diced onion

• Chipotle Mayo (Grab the recipe here)

• Avocado
