Carnitas Recipe | STOVE TOP CARNITAS | CARNITAS TACOS

- Nothing beats tender golden brown Carnitas right from the large disco. For those not familiar with Carnitas, it is pork braised in lard until tender and golden brown. Here is the way I like to make carnitas on my stove top. Cook time may vary depending on the texture you want to achieve. I do suggest not to cook until it falls apart in the pot. Carnitas should still keep its shape, but be fork tender.
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 to 4 lbs Pork Shoulder
1 lb lard
2 tsp salt (or to your taste)
1 medium to large orange
1/3 cup juice of orange
4 cloves garlic
1 large bay leaf
8 oz Coca Cola (room temperature)
1/3 cup evaporated milk
**One Large Thick Bottomed Pot
TIPS
-Do not use a high heat (medium heat over long period of time works best)
-Be sure to watch your heat (in the video I walked away and the heat got a little too hot)
-Cook time may vary depending on how tender or crispy you prefer your Carnitas.

Carnitas Tacos
Taco Tuesday Recipe
I NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT THOSE INGREDIENTS WERE USED TO MAKE CARNITAS CRAZY BUT I LOVE ME SOME CARNITAS
You had me at ‘lard’. *subscribed*
Me too!
Made this recipe with a minor modification. The peel of the orange - white part has a bitterness to it so i zested the oranges and put that in the pot. This was a wonderful recipe.
Wow seven deliciosas ya quiero probar un taquito 🌮de esas carnitas 🍖 saludos desde Chicago 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Tortillas? Nah! I love it just for the meat itself! Yummy stuff! :)
Thank you looks delicious will be making today
Incredible Thank You for a Great Recipe
Went to the store to make this recipe today! Thank you 💕
This looks great, can't wait to try it. Love the music, who is it. Your my favorite cook. Your such a blessing.
I made this. It really works!!!
Gracias.. Perfecto.. Traditional..
I am definitely going to try to make these!
Oh my! That looks delicious. You must try to put lemon on the taco, it gives it an extra kick to the already delicious carnitas. Enjoy! 😋
Wow. Looks amazing!
Learn something everyday.
bypass byshmas😜🤪😝...those look wonderful😋❤
Yummy gracias.
I would have been horrified at that much lard but my daughter made some beef chunks cooked slowly in a pound of butter with onions, a bit of vinegar and banana peppers and it was so flavorfull and rich that i am very curious to try the carnitas
Is that Mexican cola.. ?
I saw that u could use sugar opposed to coke.. if so how much sugar?
This makes me wanna cry because I lost my mom a year ago and carnitas tacos was her favorite food of all time....even though she wasn't Latina, lol.
Sorry to here about your Mom.💖
Sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she's currently enjoying carnitas with Jesus. God bless.
I lost my mom about a year ago too. And my dad followed months after her. So I'm feeling you 😭. And here I am watching videos on some recipes. Ones I never got a chance to get from her. It's not like I can call and ask her. No abuelitas either.
May God Bless Her Soul......
Sorry for your loss.
"If you're worried about your cholesterol you probably shouldn't be eating carnitas." I'm in love with this statement.
Eating cholesterol does not raise your cholesterol. Cholesterol is essential to our bodies. This is why our body makes new cholesterol when we don't consume it.
This is not going to raise your cholesterol. It is all natural so your body knows what to do with this food. It is not going to be low calorie, but even that won't be too bad if your lard is hot enough. Stop worrying about your cholesterol.
Cholesterol is raised by carbohydrates and sugar not fat 🤷🏽♂️
If you're worried about cholesterol, you're worrying about the wrong thing
Omg! I made this for dinner and it was bomb! Everyone loved it. It was soooo good... It made me sleepy lol. Thanks for the recipe. This is probably my favorite. I'll be cooking it again.
That's weird.. I Got Sleepy too. lol... 🤠🖖
Kelly Empson That’s because it’s really bad for you lol. Every time I eat carnitas it makes me sleepy as well
Wow, I see I was not the only who had to take a nap 1 hour after eating this recipe because I was so sleepy felt really relaxing though, I wonder which ingredient caused this? Thinking maybe the evaporated milk...who knows was good either way ...
Tyvm I never knew about them crazy ingredients. I sure love Carnitas though. I used to get them at the corner food truck all the time. Since I moved I couldn't find any decent place to get them. Now thanks to you I'm back in business lol.
Wow you're really getting popular now!! Almost 50k sub's, keep up the great videos.
Thanks Mark! 😊
Mija, it's 12:28 am ; just finished eating gumbo and now I'm hungry for carnitas ! Thanks for sharing your time and recipes with your viewers 👍 A fresh " Subbie ! " God bless you and yours, in Jesus' precious name ! 🍅🍊🍴 ✌ & 👍👍
Thank you Mae M! Bless you! 💖
Gochujang mean?
Margaret Kim, google it.
Gumbo and then carnitas? When you meet your maker at the pearly gates you won’t have to explain how you wasted your time on earth! Brava!
I love how you add the list of ingredients! That helps so much .... thank you! I am a New subscriber and I love the way you cook❤️💯
Make sure to use Mexican coke with sugar not corn syrup
Sugar actually is just as bad as corn syrup; research shows that sugar and corn syrup are almost identical. Sugar is bad for heart and brain health. When we consume sugar it gives us a rush and it's addicting. Sugar is the leading cause of Alzheimer's. Sugar causes a vicious cycle. We tend to forget (Alzheimer's kicking in) that sugar is bad leading us to eat more sugar (addiction).
It's cane sugar.
Well that's pretty hard to do as we live in the US as as far as I know Mexican formula coke is not available here in SoCal, even in the Mexican Markets
I don't drink soda or use caffeine. What can be substituted for that?
@@judylaverty613 I can get Mexicoke at Walgreen's way up here in Wisconsin. Just look for slightly smaller glass bottles that say, "Hecho en Mexico," on them. That's the good stuff.
Made this last night. We’ve tried so many slow cooker recipes but I had the time and wanted to try these. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. This was wonderful and hubby liked it so much he didn’t say a word until his plate was clean except grunts of appreciation. :) sharing with everyone!
YAY! Thank you! 😊🙌
Exellent recipe this looks very delicious a must make dish Tfs! Have a good day!!!!👍👍👍👍👌😁
I'm so glad to see an authentic carnitas recipe on RUclips
The best and easiest Carnitas I've ever had thank you so much
The carnitas look delicious!!
OMG! I have had Carnitas made in this fashion before and they are so good! I have always wanted to make them like this but I had too many questions to attempt it, where do you get the Lard? is it the kind in the baking isle that reads Lard on a green and white package? Also what temp is it cooking at? Lard can easily reach 400 degrees before smoking, you certainly aren't cooking at that temp are you? What temp are you adding the liquids at? I would think it would have to be low or else it would explode back at you, for example putting a wet French fry in 350 degree oil can be pretty exciting. Any ball park temps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
If I had to guess it would around 350°F at the hottest point of cooking. By the time I added liquids the temp was not at a deep fry so maybe somewhere around 325°F. Honestly these temps are just guesses. I usually keep the stove knob at a medium heat to braise it in the lard. 😊
This recipe looks great and your coment was very helpfull. I'm making this right know and its coming out good. I might have had the fire a little high so the meat is a litle dark but nothing to worry about.
Grateful for this recipe! It was my first time making carnitas, so I didn’t get everything right but my family loved it & that’s what’s important! :)
You should open a taco shop you know what your doing all homemade and heart warming authentic Mexican food
>>
At the end after adding all the herbs, spices and liquids you don’t say whether the meat should be cooked covered or uncovered for the last 30 minutes. Although I noticed your picture shows it uncovered.
If your worried about calorie intake then you probably should not be eating Tex Mex or Mexican food. PS. Those looked great 👍🏻
The Shootist You shouldn't eat Tex-Mex in general, because it's disgusting.
@@hrdkorebp 🤣😂 that's taco bell rated #1
Wrong. Traditional Mexican cuisine is very healthy and clean.
Tex Mex.....is white people food 🤢
@@obijuankenobi6565 .... No its not, you fool... It's Tejano which you obviously know nothing about.
So happy u address the oil and cholesterol situation so many people will click on a recipe like this and expecting for it to be fat free 🤣
It's well known that pork is extremeley high in fat... and the first ingredient is *lard*
So, the big question is what are you going to do about it P La? Are you going for it? I am going to make it and I am going to make guacamole to go with it! Ajua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monkey Boy pork meat is not high in fat. Yes, pigs have fat, but lard is something you have make from the fat (this process is called rendering). It is well known that lard is high in cholesterol, but it is a myth that it increases the risk of heart attack. Lard is actually heart healthy. On the other hand go easy on the bad carbs (refined sugars, etc.). Those increase sugar in the blood stream and well that's a whole different mess.
Diana actually it's not a myth that lard will increase risk of a heart attack b/c of the high cholesterol. Cholesterol builds up walls In Your arteries, then your arteries becomes blocked and it's hard for blood to get into your heart or it just gets blocked from getting into your heart completely and you'll have a heart attack
Yugioh On a Budget 346, actually it is a myth and it has been debunk.There are 2 types of cholesterol LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol). Lard is monounsaturated which lowers LDL(bad cholesterol).

People who ONLY eat food: Yeah, it DOES look horrific 🤢
People who cook: OMG look at this beauty :O
The other people who cook: OMFG THAT? THAT is going to be perfect 🥵🥵🥵
I went to a Canadian Franchise named Guac and had the Carnitas tacos. Am I wrong to have expected Mexican seasoning in the meat? Ie. Cumin, chili powder, etc? The meat was favored like Southern pulled pork, in a smoky BBQ sauce. In a Mexican restaurant! In this video's recipe, I guess the salsa acts as the Mexican flavoring. Can someone tell me what Carnitas are traditionally seasoned with? I assume it's not like this recipe.
Hey gochujang mama wow how good does that look a definite thumbs up thank you for sharing I would like to make garnitas for sure I love all your recipe so place write me back when will you have new video
I use the biggest pot I have and Lard. I do mine the most simple way possible, I use only Salt, Garlic and a touch of Cumin. Nothing sweet. I add the garlic and cumin at the end so it doesn't burn. I've looked at a few recipes online and just don't see Cumin, but some place on East Los I got Carnitas Tacos had a noticeable Cumin taste and cooking it in was the only way I could replicate the color, taste and texture I was looking for.
Coca Cola, YES indeed! If I am making a beef roast or similar I will Dr. Pepper. Coca Cola =Pork Beef = Dr. Pepper.
Y’all can cook a butt roast with these spices in a slow cooker. Cokes out very much the same without the lard fat content. Add 1tbspn of molasses if no cocoa cola. But you need the orange and the evap milk.
Nice. You should try cooking your salsa ingredients in a hot pan with oil for a batch. You’ll get a more complex flavor due to the caramelization.
WOW! The tacos looked delicious.
Best carnitas ever! My second time making them thanks 2 you lol!💙💙💙
Great recipe. When you finish simmering the salsa - does the simmer water get blended or discarded? Thanks
I am so shocked at the price of the meat! I mean I wish I could find it for that cheap here in Western Mass.. I pay 3x that. Things are so expensive here.
I do love carnitas either way..
I'm in western mass also and I was thinking the same thing...
Just picked some up here in Houston $1.49 lb. That same package in the video would have cost $5.68
You probably need to move. I live in California. It might be the store you shop at because I know here some stores are more expensive on there meat than others.
I’m in Worcester County, MA and pork right now is super cheap compared to beef and chicken
coca Mexican coke should be used it has Kane sugar
I've heard the same thing, that Mexican Coke Cola should be used; and not to use the American version. I add a few tablespoon of raw cane sugar and a can if beer instead. I don't know if it's a good replacement or not, but this is what I use as a replacement.
My fav food right now is carnitas. Your recipe looks fantastic! Can't wait to try. My thanks to you and, your lovely family for your videos.
You are currently my favorite recipe source! Thank You!
This looks so good. I also would like to know if you have a recipe for enchiladas Rojas with queso fresco?
I think the closest thing I have to enchiladas Rojas with queso fresco would be these ruclips.net/video/-P5pdc9DBLg/видео.html
😊
Wondering Can it be made without the can milk ? Or substitute with reg milk
way past my bed time but keep watching new vids. Great job on everything
Can you reuse the lard for when you decide to make another batch of carnitas some other time?
I found using cherry Coke versus regular Coke gives it a much better flavor.
I ate cereal and mcDs for 18 year before i move out got my own place and began to cook like this thanks!
Looks so yummy Now I'm so hungry lol
Thanks for sharing with All of Us
Which store in Houston can I find this? I love carnitas but they're not good for me. But I still eat them. 😁
Alma Cruz HEB 😊
OMG that looks so good!!
Alma Cruz not good for me either but they be delicious!
Fiesta foods
Alma Cruz bi polar ass lol
Thanks for the video. Should I use regular coke or mexican coke?
Mexican coke if you can get it.
I love your recipes! Always simple and delicious!
Thank you so much I tried it and I got 3 kisses from my wife it was so good
People worried about cholesterol and fat dont know whats actually good for them. Its the bread, rice, sugar, potatoes, and chemical foods that make one unhealthy, not the fat!!
Why don't you eat your food I like to watch you take a bite and enjoy it on video 😜
I have made this recipe a number of times now. It never fails. I usually have to cook an extra hour because my batch is bigger. Thx for the recipe. It is always a hit.
Looks good. Love the comment about lard.' You probably shouldn't be eating carnitas anyway! ' Hurah!
Great color on the carnitas, and they look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness, my hubby's favorite! I always wanted to know how to make green salsa, thank you for sharing mija❤😋
P.S. I hope you don't mind me calling you "mija", you do remind me of my beautiful daughter💜😊
I knew I wasn't crazy! I could've sworn carnitas were made with condensed milk but every recipe I've ever seen doesn't call for it.
Evaporated milk not condensed lol
Cholesterol or lard isn't a problem. The problem is, if you're using commerical store-bought lard, it's hydrogenated, which makes it a super-duper health risk.
I add more seasoning. Oregano, garlic salt, onion salt and cinnamon
When I was growing up Mom always used lard to fry things in. She made the best fried chicken using lard. all pie crusts were with lard. on and on. This is a recipe that I will surely try.
cornflake73 be careful for heart attack eating so much lard.
@@mrs.o7486 Do some research about that. Until you do, don't prescribe health care ...
@@mrs.o7486 Actually it's healthier than butter and conventional oils. Please do your research. U.K and Canadian health studies have proven it too be so much better to lower bad cholesterol levels.
Wow!! Delicious carnitas! Looks better than the store 😘 thanks for the recipe ❤
Definitely trying this recipe this weekend! Thank u for sharing it looks so yummy!! 💕
I made this on an electric stove and just overcompensated on the heat and fried them a little sooner than I wanted. They’re currently halfway through their simmering, hopefully they come out softer
Lid on or off?
I like to kick things up a bit, could I add red chili flakes? Cayenne?
we love it! we add diced onion ,queso fresco and one serrano chile mixed with nopalitos on top .
Wow how good does that look. A definite thumbs up, thank you for sharing I will have to make these for sure.
whoop whoop!!!! So excited to try this recipe!!!!
great job with this recipe!!! the only thing i find wrong with this even tho this looks amazing is the evaporated milk..traditionally its condensed milk and i have tried both.. for some weird reason evaporated milk curdled up on me and i used it because of so much sugar..when i use condensed milk it comes out perfect for me. I think overall this carnitas recipe is hands down Great! thanks for showing us and i cant wait for more future recipes. Buen Provecho!
Wow I’m so hungry watching you make this, all I can think of is this. How fast can I get there!? 😳😳😋😋🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️✈️✈️🚴♀️🚴♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️😁😁🤗🤗
Thank you so much the best all round best recipe for carnitas thanks again and keep them coming
OMG it's very early in the morning and I'm dancing in my kitchen cause it smells sooo incredible😋
You make me a better cook thank you. I can't wait to show my daughters this recipe for their families❤️
I wonder if you could cut your cooking time in half if you use 2 or 3 lbs of lard to submerge the meat entirely?
That might work. I didn't think of that. 👍
That’s how I do it, with meat submerged..
Thank you! Just like a neighbor's abuela used to make for all the kids. I was too young for recipes then, I just ate!
Made this tonight! Was easy and delicious! Thanks for posting!👍
Mexican coke not the coke sold in Texas
I can't wait to give this a try! Looks so good! Great job! Keep'em coming. You're an awesome cook!
You make it look so easy. I will be giving it a try soon.
Damm girl you should open a restaurant!!! Iv only seen 2 videos but yo had me at Carnitas!!!
I'm JUST starting out cooking and it's been fun with my wife.. That being said I followed your recipe to the T and it was BOMB!! I impressed my whole family. Thank you so much for this tutorial 😊
I've made some carnitas at home just winging it, but I'm definitely trying this recipe soon for sure! They look delicious 💦💦💦
You just gained a new subscriber!! Awesome. I had no idea about this ingredients. ❤️👌🏽
Tell all ur viewers it should only be Mexican coke
I went to a local taqueria to get Mexican coke. Why? Because they use real sugar, not artificial sweeteners. It makes all the difference.
Your hubbie. Lucky man alive😏
Right!! Lol
I am eating this as I type, salsa and all, me and the family love it!
Yay! Thank you! 😊🙏
New subscriber here 🙋love your channel! Se ve que tienes muy buen sazón! Greetings from south Texas (RGV)
Perfection!!! Growing up in New Mexico, I always miss the wonderful food there. Making food like this always brings me back. Thank you!! 😊❤️
I used to love carnitas, however I no longer eat pork. Can you do this with chicken thighs?
Renes Daughter i recommend beef or lamb
