Carnitas are my favorite type of meat to eat in a taco. This was my first attempt making it and it was so easy! Not to mention delicious. It does require advance planning as the meat sits in the crock pot over night. I made it for a friend the other night to get a second opinion and he said "That was really good, you should be a chef" to which I replied "I am!" he retorted " Well you should post your recipes" and I said "I do!" so needless to say it was a success :)
