Found this gem on Imgur years ago. One of the best recipes I have ever come across. A hit at every get-together!
Top them off with minced onion, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. I find they're best on corn tortillas.

Looks easy and delicious.

Real carnitas are made in a cazo which is basically a giant saucepan and is made with lard and also orange juice or beer
socialgenius
This is not Carnitas.
mrhotcakes69
Fancy sharing your recipe? Please!

Is this going to be enough /a/ODj4q ?
mormacil
Maybe just, eat a snack beforehand.

I'm getting some 2AM Chili vibes from this.
Takarumarch
Everyone's giving you crap about the recipe, but I just made this and it tastes fantastic! Maybe it's not REAL carnitas, but it's delicious
xaxen
I've made these countless times. They are fantastic. Super easy too
thetacosavior
Finally, I was tired of carnitas needing foreplay.

Took me way to long to realize it meant a single 4lb-6lb piece of pork, not 4 6lb pieces, I was thinking "why the hell you need 24lbs?"
Spazzofspeed
Hehe. Pork butt.
kanemano
If it's so easy why won't you come over and make me some, I just woke up and I'm hungry

The oven part is essential! Don't skip that part! So good!

For anyone who doesn't know, you'll probably want to remove the bay leaves after most of the liquid boils away.

You said butt! teehee

Great recipe, but definitely not Carnitas.

I make lame-ass American Carnitas with Hard Cider in a Crock Pot. No cutting the meat though. Similar recipe.
theproofisinmypudding
If only I could eat cilantro and not taste soap
FrogAyago
Yeah, I used to think that, too. Ate enough of it to get past it eventually. Now, I can't get enough

In south Texas you'd take out the veins and seeds of red dried chilies boil then blend with garlic and probably some other stuff...but..
Rd13956
You'd brown the meat barely cover it with water and throw in the blended chilies...I think.i got a link

As a Mexican... This is not how you do it at all. Carnitas are fried pork, fried in lard. Like cracklin. This is a nice lazy way though.
rdrdtheta
A lot of traditional Mexican dishes call for lard. Lard is still pretty bad for you.
orangesunshine08909808
Well then fry it in vegetable oil .... but "roasting" in your oven isn't even close. It's like comparing ice cream to some dirt ...
boredleroy
lard is not bad for you.
rdrdtheta
Believe and cook with what you will, lard is a delicious ingredient but not healthy. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/transfats/
SomePeopleSayThatCucumbersTasteBetterPickled
shouldn't there be a lime involved somewhere?
FrogAyago
I squeeze them on top of the tacos when they're done. Thanks for mentioning that. I'll add it in the description.
TacoTacoTacoWasAlreadyTaken
Love this recipe make it but monthly and freeze portions in salsa containers is like six tacos worth
srslycio
These are NOT carnitas, you uncultured swine
RottenKitten
At least, the tacos looks like real tacos and not like those "U" shaped tostadas that pretend to be tacos.
mrhotcakes69
Care to share your version? :) pretty please!
srslycio
Yes, I will post a recipe soon and tag you
Commentsaremything
They're made with lard and other spices also must add beer or orange juice

Ok. But we're not asking for a picture. We want a whole post like the one above.
Commentsaremything
I'll try and provide one soon
CaptainBeefcake
My reaction after reading the recepie and having made carnitas in el cazo
mrhotcakes69
How about you? Care to enlighten us? Everyone is complaining but not contributing anything...
DefinitelyNotTippster
Pro-tip: lose a pint of the chicken broth and add a beer.
turbobrick93
US pint or British pint? Almost a 100 ml difference here
DefinitelyNotTippster
Well since the recipe called for quarts of Stock... adjust as necessary.
Dr3amF3ar
Use Dr Pepper for a sweeter flavor
SleeperSix
FUCK. YES.
pshawn
Always add beer or wine to any recipe. Vodka to batter and a 6 pack when smoking or bbqing for yourself.
GraveSituationNation
Nice mod. Thanks for that.

Mexican corner stand tip: lose the beer and add Coca Cola. That's how you get the caramelized crust.
DefinitelyNotTippster
Beer will give you that too, also should have some Orange juice in it, but yeah. Beer's too expensive for the corner stands.
Imgurkoff
What about dissolving a stock cube in beer then using that
eightythousandandeightyfive
What's that in liters?
trenthian
GIYF. it is 20 Liters. Or Litres
godskook
You'll use freedom units and you'll LIKE it.

A pint is slightly less than half a liter

Celiac pro-tip: tell that to your friends, in case they are gluten intolerant.
OPisdaOG
Second that.
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
I figure that if those friends arent total fucksticks, they would bring up dietary restrictions far before you start cooking
DefinitelyNotTippster
All 1 of them?
newyorknyc
What does that do?
ilikepicturesofprettygirls
When beer cooks, you tend to get a nice, yeasty/hoppy taste in the meat, and the alcohol tenderizes meat to a degree.
DefinitelyNotTippster
Adds a layer of flavor. I've always done it ever since my Mexican nanny showed me.
CassandraKae
Flaaaavorrrrr!
Chaos2183
+1 on the beer. A little bit of orange zest or orange juice too
bingus
Fucking this.
DefinitelyNotTippster
Made me look at the OP again. It's not Carnitas wthout the orange IMHO.
Kabe59
Slice an orange and throw it in, rind and all
betterave
Nope, that makes it too bitter.
FrogAyago
Don't know why I didn't think of that considering I put beer in almost every other recipe
MrWolfwood
because the flavor of hops is heavily over powered by peppers
shimmernshine
The recipe I use from Michoacan calls for orange juice and/or pineapple juice. Makes it super tender and gives a nice complexity.
robsc16
Beer and wine in cooking always turns it up a notch. BAM!
missbelled
It's even better when you add some to the food, too.
jsteelfex
Also using your spice weasel
