Make the creamy chipotle sauce. In my case, I used purchased guacamole, and restaurant fresh salsa from our local Mexican grocer. I didn't use the queso, but simply used purchased plantain chips, shredded pork, onions, tomatoes, black olives, homemade salsa, chipotle sauce, and quacamole.

Notes: These were fantastic. I think the real best part was the plantain chip. A few disclosures...I am not a purist. So, I use purchased quacamole and restaurant salsa. And plantain chips. I put the toppings on regular chips for my husband, and added some cheese. This was a fantastic meal, popping with limy salty goodness and the pork carnitas were out of this world yummy, and leftovers could be used in tacos, breakfast burritos, you name it. And EASYYYYY. My kind of meal!
