So easy and so good! I've made these carnitas twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is perfect.

These carnitas were a hit at my last party! The Dr. Pepper adds a unique and delicious flavor that everyone loved. I'll definitely be making them again.
