Notes: Girls you can do this recipe with any type of meat. Carnitas means small crispy pieces of meat so beef, chicken, pork will all work!
I like to use flour tortillas with some meat, sauce, sour cream roll up and yummy. You could add this meat to nachos or anything you want. Be adventureous. Very authentic Mexican dish.
