Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper

The carnitas were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too spicy. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

These carnitas were amazing! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the crispy bits were to die for. I served them with tacos, and they were a huge hit with my family.
