Provided by Julia

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small yellow onion, diced*
1 (4-lb) pork shoulder roast
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp ground corriander
2 tsp garlic powder, *
1 tsp sea salt, to taste
8 ounces beer, see note**
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (16-ounce) chub turkey chorizo, ***
tortillas, of choice
white onion, chopped
tomato, chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Add the chopped onion to the crock pot. Sprinkle the meat with cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, and sea salt and gently rub into the meat with your hands. Place the meat in the crock pot and add the beer and lime juice. Secure the lid and cook 8 to 12 hours on low.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it. Place the meat back into the crock pot to allow it to soak up the juices.
  • When you're ready to prepare the tacos, heat a large cast iron skillet (I use a 12-inch) to medium-high. Add the chorizo and cook until meat is cooked through and the majority of the juices have burned off.
  • Using a slotted spoon (to strain the juices), transfer the shredded pork to the skillet and continue cooking until meat has a nice crisp to it and juices have burned off (note: this may need to be done in batches depending on the size of your skillet. If you aren't making a ton of tacos all at once, you can do this step with only part of the chorizo and part of the pork, saving the rest for later).
  • Heat up your favorite tortillas using your preferred method (microwave, oven, or stove top).
  • Load up the tortillas with the carnitas/chorizo mixture and top with chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro. Devour!

CARNITAS TACO



Carnitas Taco image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds lard
2 1/2 pounds pork butt, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Chile de Arbol Salsa, recipe follows
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound Italian Roma tomatoes
3/4 pound tomatillos, husked and washed
1 cup (30 to 40) Arbol chiles
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only, roughly chopped
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cups water
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan melt lard over moderate heat. Add pork, salt and pepper and simmer until tender. Cook about an hour, being careful not to crisp the meat. Remove pork and set aside until cool. Shred the meat by hand or with tines of a fork. Remove and discard any remaining fat. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add the Arbol salsa and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently. Serve or assemble within a toasted corn tortilla to make taco. Carnitas can stay refrigerated for up to five days before assembling within a taco.
  • Preheat broiler. Place tomatoes and tomatillos on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally until charred all over, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook until onions are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Puree and then strain. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Arbol salsa can be stored in the refrigerator 3 to 5 days, or frozen for weeks.
