A little pre celebration for Cinco de Mayo

Here's one of my favorite Mexican recipes to make any day of the week, especially around Cinco de Mayo! Pork Carnitas!! So easy and so good!

 

It's smelling the whole house up right now!!  

3lb pk boneless pork tenderloin

4-6C water

Knorr concentrated chicken stock (2)

1 jalapeno

1 TBSP dried cilantro  

1 lg onion-quartered

4-5 garlic cloves-chopped

1TBSP cumin

1 TBSP chili powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp white pepper

I'm using my brand new 6qt ceramic cast iron dutch oven. (Thanks to the hubby! XoxO) I always wanted one but the prices very from $60-$400 for some of them! Wow! Mine is the lower end price but it's still expensive in my eyes to spend that much on one pan but it was so worth it! 

Let that cook for 3-4 hours on low on the stove top, any large spaghetti pot will do. After it's falling apart drain the leftover juice saving some off to the side, then just start pulling the meat apart. 

1-2 pk corn tortilla-grilled or pan fried

I like goat cheese 

serve with lime and fresh cilantro  

As you see I like to add some chopped fresh spinach, avocado and hot sauce too! :)
