Carnitas recipe

The correct way to make this is the cook the ingredients together - see a typical recipe. In my case, I made a slow-cooked pork roast for direct eating, intending to make empanadas afterwards. Instead I decided to make burritos and adapted a carnitas recipe to start with pre-cooked pork. This is not spicy but you can use Jalapeno and add heat with eg Tabasco sauce.

Ingredients:

 2-3 cups of cooked pork, chopped, 

spices: black pepper, oregano, chilli powder, bay leaf, cumin, parsley sprig. I also used one dried non-spicy pepper.

small onion, garlic cloves

1/2 green pepper (or Jalapeno)

orange, 1/2 lime

lard

Start the onions at medium heat, use lard. Add meat, spices, then garlic and green pepper, add citrus fruit juices. Add 1 cup of water.

Simmer for 1-2 hours. Stirring and topping off water. End with a small amount of liquid.

Use this "stew" with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, in a burrito or tortilla.
