edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
on the 15th hour of my first butt ( 9lbs) and it's almost done....oh wow! does it smell great! Just curious if anyone has made carnitas tacos with some of this pulled pork, you know that awesome stuff you get from the roach coach or the venders on the side of the street in mexico..(my favorite) Any ideas, I'm all ears...thanks

    BEERbelly,
    It would make absolutely fantastic tacos, but carnitas are something else entirely and also wonderful. Carnitas are chunks of the pork that have been cooked in rendered pork fat -- usually in a big tub, over an open fire.

    BobS,
    I think its a regional thing because the carnitas I've gotten around here are just like pulled pork. They are served family style, a plate full of meat, corn and flour tortillas, shredded cabbage, queso fresco, salsas, and limes. Everybody makes their own. -RP
