It’s one of my go to easy meals. It’s so mindless. You’ll enjoy it

One of my favorites! I always make a double batch, and then freeze them in single portions. My kids pull them out if the freezer, and can throw them in the air fryer for a super easy dinner!

It is easy. It is awesome.
Don’t put that glass pan under the broiler. Use a cookie sheet.
This looks like a great way to cook Carnitas! Thanks for the inspiration OP

Will this technique work for beef? Just curious. Thinking of doing this for a beef stew

Such a wonderful recipe! I make double batches then vacuum seal and freeze dinner size portions. They can go right from the freezer to the broiler for a super easy meal!

This works, but prefer the method of searing the meat first then cooked in dutch oven for about 3 hours. No transferring from dish to dish and still no need for lard.

Love that recipe! Leftovers freeze pretty well for long term storage, too.

It’s one of the recipes that’s always requested and always on rotation in my house
You’re in for a treat!

This has become my go to Super Bowl recipe. Make it the day before and set out a taco bar.
I have to admit I don’t always make the salsa though 🙁

This one pops up on r/sousvide pretty often, been meaning to try it out that way.

I’ve been making them more often lately. I just do a smaller batch in the toaster oven and make tortas out of them instead of tacos. Nice change of pace for lunch that takes not much prep time and gives me a week worth of food.

Its really solid. Have made it multiple times. Its a simple easy recipe.
I used to do the sous vide version, but this is so much faster.

a favorite no brainer! Dont be afraid go a little harder on the crisping at the end.

It’s so good! I always keep the leftover liquid and use it as a dipping sauce

It’s a little heavy on the cinnamon but is overall and excellent carnitas.

I do the sous vide version of this; make the basic recipe between four bags, then three of them to straight into the freezer. It’s amazing

It’s one of my favorites!

You’ve already done the hard part

This is one of my favorite recipes. Made it this week.
I don’t like raw onions on a taco, so I use Kenji’s pickled onions recipe with 1/2 of the sugar. That recipe is too sweet for me!
I serve it with cilantro lime rice, homemade beans in the InstantPot, the green sauce, avocado, queso fresco, and some other veg, if I feel like it.
Also – the tip on how to reheat corn tortillas by dipping them in some water is important.
Good luck!

I find you need to juice and zest the oranges. Including them entirely made the dish unbearably bitter. All I tasted was orange pith. But no one else seems to have that issue. Could’ve been particularly bitter orange maybe 🤷♂️
