I made this exact recipe years ago but added Mexican Coca Cola and oranges to the pork w lard. It was so delicious. I’m Puerto Rican and Mexican food is my favorite ❤
@@juanv9693the video does say the best carnitas AT HOME. So if you're going to make this with limited cooking equipment. Then this is the best way to do so
Dad is from Michoacan and he sells carnitas for party’s and events. His always comes out top tier. He uses slices of oranges instead of lemon or lime like you did. Orange is sweet and gives it a delicious taste at the end
You mean the pizza oven? Just use a cast iron skillet- that’s actually closer to traditional for tortillas. It’s a clear sponsorship as he even thanks the manufacturer.
Tip from a Mexican: Don’t put oil on your ingredients for the salsa, and if possible, char them in a grill or on a comal instead. You really want that charred roasted flavor
I like that charred roasted flavor in my salsa too, but a lot of authentic Mexican salsas are seared on the stove with oil, it still chars with the oil too
@@trinidad510 I guess it depends on which part of Mexico then. But none of my family has ever put oil anywhere near their salsa’s. The only time I ever do is when I’m making enchiladas. After roasting, I blend up all the ingredients and pour into a pot of hot canola oil and “fry” the salsa.
Agreed. I see a lot of non- mexicans do that. Also, corn tortillas not flour... and some chiles de arbol instead of jalapeños. Some coca-cola, some condensed milk and oranges in the pot of carnitas.
@@JoseMartinez-nm7ht nah that's a Mexican technique too, it's not a "non-Mexican" thing. There's so many ways to make authentic salsa because every area has it's own way of making them, that goes for carnitas as well, everyone does it differently
@@julianebug8409There’s nothing wrong with the recipe at all. He’s just doing it that way this time bc he can. Multiple videos he shows ways of making your own tortillas in far easier methods.

In my city most people use flour tortillas for tacos de carne asada and most tacos. It's not rare they serve in corn tortillas but it's not the default unless you ask for them. Tacos de Carnitas and Borrego for sure are a most with corn tortillas@@spiritsbryan2377
For anyone to find it fun. The song being sung comes out in a movie called desperado, it came out in 1995. So the song and movie themselves are 29 years old. Great movie, btw.
desperado is just a big budget remake of 'el mariachi' by the same robert rodriguez. Grittier and barebones (shot for 7 thousand dollars), the original is imo better.

@@DarkClassicGamer~ no you do not. It goes in the pot as you’re cooking your pork. Check out Steph on VIEWS ON THE ROAD. I’m sure she has a great recipe for carnitas on her channel. Several probably. I can’t recommend her enough.
There was a guy here in the comments that started moaning about this recipe being basic because his is much better, but he wouldn't share 😂😂😂 You're sharing your and you're being respectful ❤
@@DarkClassicGamer ~ If you live in a city with a Mexican market you can purchase lard there. It’s much better than the bricks you get where the shortening is sold. Some people were saying in the comments that you can use oil but, it’s just not the same. Hope this helps.
Needs oranges instead of limes, MX oregano, and if you find your way to a Spanish Mercado, they usually have freshly rendered pork fat you could use to fry the pork with.
Omg I just finished making carnitas when you posted this. I used oranges, limes,and Mexican Coca Cola in mine (along w all the spices & onions & stuff) instead of lard though but they were amazing, little hint of sweetness
Is that how you usually make carnitas? I want to make some for my Mexican friends/family. It will be mt first time but I don't like the idea of lard since pork is already fatty. Someone else said condenses milk. What ratios do you do?
This looks great! I braise in chicken stock and use orange, lime, one quartered onion, garlic, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, Mx oregano, and some ancho chile. Courtesy Rick Martinez, one of the only recipes I have memorized!
not original recipie, im fom mexico and this is needs many more ingridients and explanation ,also the singer is singing a mexican song bit the singer is from spain.
Not sure for this one specifically, but you can check the internet for a recipe. It's a very common dish here in Mexico. I warn you there's a lot of variations, so just choose one that you like and don't worry about how "pure" or "original" they claim to be; everyone does it differently
Oh, I forgot. For the tortillas you can use a flat frying pan and just flip them as if they were pancakes when they rise if you don't have an oven for it. It's closer to the traditional way that uses a "comal"
Josh I made that green salsa blend that you made, except I also toasted the garlic. It was the best green salsa I’ve ever had. Thanks for by reminder to char the veg! Amazing!
Yesss!! Thank you for not adding chesse!! Idk why American always want to do chesse with all Mexican dishes. Your carnitas and salsa verde are on point and look amazing 👏
My family from tepa cook it completely different. This is what we call pulled pork. Carnitas in my family is always. Crunchy fried delicious pork. Personally just wondering what part of Mexico this comes from because I've always known this to be the tex mex way.
At least here in Baja California, we do make carnitas like that. The way you described it as crunchy and fried makes me think of chicharrón rather than carnitas which is still fucking delicious ofc, but when I think of carnitas, it is pulled pork cooked with lard and served with white onion, cilantro and red or green salsa. Also red rice and guacamole. And we actually use corn tortilla for tacos unlike Papa here who used tortilla de harina which we usally use for burritos or quesadillas only
@@nova1153and see, when you use the word “quesadilla” I think of the sweet/salty bread made with cuajada, crema, rice flour and a few other ingredients. ☺️
@@DahnCho good stuff, thank you. Always thought it to be a Californian way of making them or something. Figured they learned pulled pork from somewhere.
Take your pick. Almost the whole animal is used in carnitas.....also add a big sip of soda for caramelization (not so secret ingredient), preferably Coke or orange soda
It may actually have influenced us. I know that the region where I live in Mexico has received a lot of polonians, Romanian, etc. for centuries and that an hour or so from my city a lot of french established a couple of centuries back.😊
Start with just the core of the recipe. Cook pork shoulder in fat on low heat until tender, then brown the pork under the broiler. Serve with whatever carb you got. That's the essence of this dish.
Basically you should get lard but oil can do (but it won’t taste as good till you reuse it a few times). Then get pork butt (pork shoulder will work, but it won’t fall apart as well and can have excess fat that needs to be removed sometimes) and cube it into a similar size as seen here, about 2-3 inch cubes. Get an orange or two and quarter or half them and juice them and add them in, a single cassia cinnamon stick (Mexican cinnamon sticks), onions quartered or tough chopped and add that in the same dish as the pork and lard. Add in some bay leaves. I’d recommend seasoning the pork generously with salt and nothing else. Bring the meat to a pretty fast simmer on the stovetop then put in the oven at 300 for at least 3 hours. At this point it will be cooked but check for tenderness. If it’s easy to shred then pull it. Shred it with two forks (or however you like I guess) and turn the broiler on and put it in for a minute or two in a baking sheet. Stir it at least once and put it back. Keep doing this till it’s crisped up to your liking but don’t let it dry out. Traditionally, carnitas (as with a lot of Mexican cooking) don’t have much seasoning because the salsa and toppings is where the flavor comes from. The meats job is to be very “porky”, savory and rich. This recipe is like a middle ground because you will probably have to use store bought hydrogenated lard and obviously you want have a traditional flavor till you reuse it a few times. If you end up making this often then you can add in less and less ingredients as you keep reusing the lard. Make sure to strain the meat when you fish it out because it will be greasy enough. You can add some other organ meat or pork belly or some other cuts of meat too as traditional carnitas was basically the entire pig but even in California we don’t do that often (mainly Al Pastor will be a whole animal) or Sunday meals.
He has an old one, but it's definitely an old one because of the kitchen/lighting, production. Nothing wrong necessarily but I'm hoping for a new and improved one based on this.
Carnitas go better with corn tortillas rather than flour, and red chile de arbol salsa instead of serrano. Also you’re missing the sweet on the cazo, you can use orange juice (a lot more than those slices) or a coca cola.
Is that what your ancestors used? Coca Cola? No offense, but Coca Cola is not exactly a natural, a traditional or a good quality ingredient. Imagine how much hate ge would get if he showed Coca Cola in a carnitas video 😂
@@AlissaSss23 Considering how many comments have specifically mentioned using Coca-Cola, he'd probably be fine. Also, recipes, like everything else, evolve with time and modern cultures changing them to their tastes is normal. I'm not exactly the arbiter of what is or isn't authentic/quality Mexican food, but neither are you so

The meats job is to be very “porky”, savory and rich. This recipe is like a middle ground because you will probably have to use store bought hydrogenated lard and obviously you want have a traditional flavor till you reuse it a few times. If you end up making this often then you can add in less and less ingredients as you keep reusing the lard.
Make sure to strain the meat when you fish it out because it will be greasy enough. You can add some other organ meat or pork belly or some other cuts of meat too as traditional carnitas was basically the entire pig but even in California we don’t do that often (mainly Al Pastor will be a whole animal) or Sunday meals.
Stfu and just cook it or make some one pot crap. This is literally an incredibly simple recipe
This one I quite basic if you BUY the tortillas instead of making it
@@Aaron-McDonaldThank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with others here. 😊❤
Do you have a full length video for this?
Unfortunately he doesn't do that anymore. Buy I'm sure next week he'll do a video on trying all the potato chips in the world.
He has an old one, but it's definitely an old one because of the kitchen/lighting, production. Nothing wrong necessarily but I'm hoping for a new and improved one based on this.
The recipe is on his website if you want the full thing
@@bigjuan2001those get more views, it makes sense
@@bigjuan2001LMFAOO😭😭😭💀💀💀
Just a finishing touch is the best Gamechanger 😊
May I say that looks Fantastic . Thank You 😊
I always felt that every mexican food without avocado is a crime 😂😂😂
As a mexican & a texan this recipe was really good. If you can handle spice i recommend using Serranos or a mixure of jalapeños and serranos.
Good lord that looks fantastic
whats that tool you're cooking in, looks cool
Carnitas go better with corn tortillas rather than flour, and red chile de arbol salsa instead of serrano. Also you’re missing the sweet on the cazo, you can use orange juice (a lot more than those slices) or a coca cola.
Is that what your ancestors used? Coca Cola? No offense, but Coca Cola is not exactly a natural, a traditional or a good quality ingredient. Imagine how much hate ge would get if he showed Coca Cola in a carnitas video 😂
@@AlissaSss23 Considering how many comments have specifically mentioned using Coca-Cola, he'd probably be fine. Also, recipes, like everything else, evolve with time and modern cultures changing them to their tastes is normal. I'm not exactly the arbiter of what is or isn't authentic/quality Mexican food, but neither are you so
Looks great!! Try using a clay pot and add orange juice and coca cola, thank me later.
You only need to do this if you aren’t using lard and aren’t doing a confit.
NO soda!!
Looks good, love carnitas. Btw is the music from desperado?

Carnitas on flour? Get out of here... I love your videos but this is so Tex-mex I hate it.
