I made up this recipe for Pork Carnitas using leftover shredded pork. It was fast to make and tasted great - as good as any burrito restaurant.

I'm not usually a fan of pork, but these carnitas were delicious! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the crispy edges were the perfect touch. I served them with rice and beans, and it was a meal that I will definitely be making again.

These carnitas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my carnitas turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These carnitas were a bit too fatty for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
