Cómo preparar Ancho Carnitas

  1. Combine all sauce ingredients (see below) in a blender and blend until completely smooth. If the sauce is too thin, simmer it uncovered in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Pour the ancho sauce into the hot skillet and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to slightly reduce and deepen in flavor.
  4. Add the shredded pork to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the pork evenly with the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly and clings to the meat.
  5. Serve your delicious Ancho Carnitas immediately in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings like pico de gallo, rice, and shredded cheese. Enjoy!
