FIXING
How to Make My Party Pork Roasted Carnitas
- 1preheat oven to 350 Degrees
- 2Sprinkle Roast with rice vinegar all over. then rub with the dry rub mixture all over so it is completely cover. (Depending how big a roast you make, you might have to adjust the dry rub mixture, making a little more.) Put Roast in a deep baking pan and cover with foil bake at 350 degrees for 2-1/2-3 hours depending on how big Roast is.
- 3Uncover Roast, remove most of the fat dripping don't remove it all. Reserve about 1-cup of dripping.(very important!) Shred Roast with two forks and spread out in baking pan. Return to oven and bake about 1/2 hour to 45min until meat is crispy and tender (If your Roast gets to dry while roasting add the 1 cup dripping you reserved for later.) and bake for another 5 min. so everything can incorporate. Remove from Oven and your Meat is Ready.
- 4While your Meat is cooking, You can chop, slice, shred all your fixing.
You can warm your tortilla's right before you serve them and keep them warm in a tortilla warmer. - 5I set everything Buffet style so everyone can fix their Tacos to their liking. I also put a big dish of Rice and Beans to go along with the Tacos.
A Margarita or big tall glass of Beer goes great with these Tacos. Enjoy!
