How to cook Carnitas Tacos

1. Follow my recipe for Baby K's Pulled Pork, but for this dish, eliminate the BBQ sauce.
2. Place the pork in an oven proof baking dish. Mix in the onion, can of Rotel tomatoes, and then drizzle with the vegetable oil.
3. Place in the oven at 375° and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir mixture. Return to oven for another 15 minutes.
4. Carnitas should be moist, but crispy and brown on top.
5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with warm flour or corn tortillas.

NOTES:

If you have leftover pulled pork- these carnitas tacos are the perfect and delicious way to use up your pork! Create crispy tacos, tostadas, burritos or even carnitas nachos!
