CARNITAS TACOS
The house smells fantastic all day when I'm making this slow-cooked recipe. The tacos have so much flavor, you'd never guess they use just five ingredients. I love that they're ready when you need them at the end of the day. -Mary Wood, Maize, Kansas

REDNECK GIRL CARNITAS TACOS
Right after I moved to Arizona, I was a manager at a call center agency. An older hispanic gentleman that worked for me used to help me brush up on my spanish and talk to me about his family's traditional dishes. One time he told me how his wife made Shredded Pork with some secret and shocking ingredients....it kind of stuck in my head for years. Can you guess the "secret" ingredients? I tried the recipe and like to make it for Carnitas Tacos. The title only says "Redneck Girl"...well...because people sometimes joke about how I can make Mexican food so well and am from a small redneck town in Pennsylvania :)

CARNITAS TACO
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.
