Como fazer Tex Mex Carnitas
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a 3-4 lb pork shoulder roast in a large roasting pan.
- Roast the pork for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
- Remove pork from oven and let cool completely. Once cool enough to handle, shred the pork, discarding any excess fat.
- In a large saucepan, combine the shredded pork with 2 tablespoons of your favorite taco seasoning, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chiles. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- While the pork simmers, prepare the tortillas. Stack tortillas and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, or steam in a steamer basket for a few minutes to soften.
- To assemble, place a generous portion of the shredded pork mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it up.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as refried beans, guacamole, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, and/or picante sauce.
