TEX-MEX CARNITAS
From Tastes & Tales From Texas... with love by Peg Hein, c. 1984. This dish of shredded pork wrapped in flour tortillas is a slightly different and delicious version of an enchilada.

Steps:
- Cook pork roast 3 hours at 325*. Cool. Shred meat, discarding any fat. Place shredded meat, taco seasoning, water and green chilies in a large saucepan and simmer over low heat for 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, steam tortillas to soften. Place a generous portion of shredded pork mixture on each tortilla and fold over. May be served with refried beans, guacamole, shredded lettus, shredded cheese, sour cream, Pico de Gallo, picante sauce, or any other garnish of your choice.
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.
MEXICAN CARNITAS
Ever hear of carnitas? They're easy-to-make pork crisps that are very popular in Mexico. The secret to this recipe is the quick frying. Be sure the meat is well drained before it's placed in oil, though, or it will splatter and pop. -Patricia Collins, Imbler, Oregon

- Place the pork in a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Add just enough water to the pot to cover the pork.
- Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, without stirring, for 2 hours.
- Increase the heat to medium high and stir/turn the meat occasionally. The more you move the meat around the more it will fall apart.
- Continue cooking for 45 minutes or until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the pork fat. Let it fry, stirring often to break up the meat, until the pieces are somewhat crispy and browned.
