Quick Carnitas Recipe (Pressure Cooker)

Leave a comment

These Quick Carnitas Recipe is an inexpensive weeknight meal that can feed a crowd! 

I love making this recipe, you can either simmer it all day in your slow cooker or prepare it in less than 20 minutes in your pressure cooker. 

What kind of meat is use for Carnitas? 

Carnitas is the Mexican version of pulled pork. It’s traditionally made with pork shoulder or pork butt. This piece of meat contains more fat and helps it to stay juicy!

How to make Pork Carnitas in pressure cooker? 

You will start by searing the pork until it’s browned on all sides, then you will add all the ingredients listed here directly into the slow cooker.

Allowing it to cook throughout the day or you can cook it in under 20 minutes in the pressure cooker. 

Can’t get simpler than this, once it’s cooked you will take two forks and shred the pork on a cutting board before serving over rice or in a taco. 

Then you will be ready to have a feast fit for a Mexican Queen or King.

I love the ingredients in this recipe, because everything tastes so fresh. Adding fresh lime juice along with a fresh orange juice really makes the flavors pop, so be sure not to skip them.

Also the addition of the the raw onions surprisingly work so well here too, trust me or I should say the Mexicans!

So be sure not to skip on those very important ingredients. Serve this up with some avocados and you will have one great meal tonight. I hope you enjoy, ARRIBA MEXICO!

Pulled Pork Carnitas

Leave a comment

These Pulled Pork Carnitas (Mexican Tacos) are so darn delicious, we make them at least once per month. 

The nice thing about mexican food is that you can make a lot of it in a short period of time and feed a crowd easily.

Or store any leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days in the fridge and enjoy fresh tacos all throughout the week.

Avocado Black Bean Dip

Leave a comment

This Avocado Black Bean dip is an easy healthy appetizer that gets it’s creaminess from a combination of avocados and black beans.With a hint of chipotle chilies that give it an unforgettable flavor. 

Excellent recipe for game day or as a healthy alternative to some other snack foods that may intrigue you. Serve with a side of your favorite tortilla chips.
 
This dip is packed full of fiber and many other nutrients, that are sure to leave you feeling great after eating. This dip would go great in burritos and or served along nacho type dishes as well.
 
 
Sometimes I will make this instead of my plain old guacamole, because the black beans have 21 grams of fiber per 100 grams so it encourages me to skip on the meat protein for that particular meal.
 

 

 

Note: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to a week.
