Recipe: Pork Carnitas


I use the left overs to make burritos the next day or my hubby's favorite Pork Sandwiches.

Ingredients:

16 cups water
4 lbs Boneless Pork Shoulder cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large head of garlic cut into half (no need to separate or peel)
4 oranges
3 Tbsp EVOO
2 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce
1 cup milk
Corn tortillas, warmed
*Fresh Cilantro, thinly sliced onion, thinly sliced red cabbage, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, lime wedges to serve on top carnitas.


Directions:
1.  Juice oranges and set aside.

2.  In Heavy Pot combine pork, garlic, water, salt and pepper.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer covered until tender, about 50 to 60 minutes.

3.  Drain well.

4.  Heat oil on med/high in nonstick skillet.

5.  Add pork, orange juice, milk, Sriracha Sauce and cook stirring occasionally, until liquid  has gone and pork is brown.

6.  Warm tortillas according to package directions.

7.  Top with pork and desired toppings.
