Carnitas or Pork Tacos

Carnitas or Pork Tacos

I used a 3 lb pork shoulder roast for this recipe. It turned out really great! My roast was not boneless, so I had to de-bone it after cooking it for a couple hours. I didn't have tomatillos or avocado on hand, and it was still really good with bell pepper, cheddar cheese, and sour cream in a warm corn tortilla.

Next time I'll be sure to have the other ingredients, as well as queso fresco on hand to make it even better.

Shredded pork tacos

http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pork/quick-shredded-pork-tacos/

This would have been great if I'd had good shredded pork. I now have an awesome recipe for shredded pork from Cooks Illustrated that I will try soon.

I thought the pork was sort of gross (left over from a failed crockpot pork attempt), so I barely ate any of it. Also, the avocado I bought was brown so we didn't have any of that.

But. DH still liked it. With avocado and good shredded pork, it would have been great. So the rating takes this into consideration.
