  18. My favorite way to make carnitas is to use a tiny bit of cola, garlic, onion, jalapeno, cumin, chilli powder, lime and water, and one orange juiced and use the zest with a little water until meats covered. Cook that in the crockpot. Next day I will add more of any of the same ingredients until I have my desired taste. Then when it's time to eat I'll take the meat and brown it in bacon fat on a cast iron pan. Add all the best toppings and boom 💥 I'm definitely going to try your recipe. Let me know if you try mine

  27. OMGG This is a great, easy and tasty recipe! To make it even faster. I put everything in the instapot on the stew option. Once is done I put it on the airfryer at 400'C for 7 min! Done!

  32. Just starting to describe cinnamon and… what, that is not carnitas… Really, maybe a tex mex version, but I have eaten carnitas all over mexico, and that is not the way anywhere lol, this one looks to be a big fail(Gonna see it through to the end)…. The way a cousin does them(and they are de li cious, are made in lard, they are salted and peppered, marinaded in milk with "hierbas finas" and then thrown into the copper "cazo" and with some 6-10 oranges, halved, depending on the size of the pork(and it is practically all the pork that is used in real carnitas) and then some black liquid he refuses to tell me what is it, I am guessing something akin to blackstrap molasses, and just cook until tender

  33. This recipe is a little different from the original, but still looks great. I am even encouraged to try this out. You only missed the sauce, it could be green (green tomatoes, green chillis and coriander) or red (red tomatoes and chillis) sauce. Great video by the way.
