MAMA'S CARNITAS
My husband loves to cook Mexican dishes. I'm more of an Italian-style cook, and the joke in our house is that I should leave all the Mexican cooking to him. However, this dish of mine turned out so amazing my husband fell in love! It's all in the meat. If you can get an all-natural pork shoulder, it really makes a difference. -Chelsea Wickman, Painesville, Ohio

[email protected]Carnitas is one of my favorite dishes, and this recipe is the best I've tried. The pork is always tender and juicy, and the flavor is incredible. I love that I can make it in the slow cooker, so I can just set it and forget it.
