Carnitas

What's better than fried pork? Not much I'm afraid. When you make Carnitas frying is the most important step. If you don't fry it, you just have shredded pork. And what's great about this recipe is you can use almost any cut of pork, even the tough ones. The simmering loosens it up and makes it tender. Try it next time you make tacos or burritos or enjoy it as a main dish topped with onions and cilantro.
