“Spice up meal times with this traditional and popular Southwestern dish. Shoulder meat is best cooked for longer period of time to make tender. Set the table so that everyone can create their own tortilla-filled meal.” - by National Pork Board

"This recipe is just what it appears to be, a very good basis for several dishes. It isn't meant to be eaten straight, use it as a basis for tacos, burritos,enchiladas or (my favorite) quesadillas. I..." See moret works very well, and is almost identical to my family's basic recipe for carnitas. Well done, and thanks so much for putting it back in writing for me."
