MY CARNITAS
This is one of my Husbands favorite dishes. The ingredients are approximates as I usually do not measure and I usually use a 4-6 lb. roast bone-in or bone-less. It does freeze well, just sprinkle with some water and wrap in foil to reheat.

Steps:

- Bring to boil, skim skum, reduce heat, cover simmer 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Drain meat, place in baking dish, sprinkle evenly with season salt and garlic powder.
- You have a few options here.
- You can either bake it whole, break into chunks (Dh prefers this) or shred thickly (I prefer) I usually do some chunks and shreds.
- Bake 30-45 minute You do not want it to get to crispy if you shredded it first. Watch carefully as you do not want it to dry out.
- While still warm shred with 2 forks if left whole.
- Serve with warm tortillas and pico de gallo.
