Pork carnitas tacos...

[Tony R]

The family wanted carnitas tacos and it just so happens that picnic shoulder was on sale for .99 cents a pound. Seasoned with garlic salt and lawrys seasonig salt. We did salsa and pico de gallo.

The salsa is this...1 cup of japanesse chilli pods. 2 green tomatillos, 3 tbs of garlic salt and 3 tbs of oil. First brown the tomatillos in oil for about 5 minutes in medium heat and brown chillis for about 3 minutes. Combine in blender with 1 cup of water and blend.

Final result...

Then some pico de gallo...combine and chop and add 1 tbs of jalapenos vinegar.

The main event... smoked in mesquite for about 6 hours at 350 degress,

plated and ready to eat. thanks for looking...

Tony, Looks great - did you remove the skin from the shoulder first or not? If so -- let's see how you did the chicherones!

Tony that is a lot of work for taco's. But the finsihed product proves it was good.
