Serving

1 (4 -5 lb) pork shoulder

1 (10 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large cinnamon sticks, the big fresh ones
1 tbsp cumin seed
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp peppercorn
1 large head garlic , cut in half through the middle and the top, no need to remove paper
2 corn tortillas, fresh and warm
1/4 cup pork, shredded , recipe above
1 tbsp tomato, diced
1 tbsp red onion, diced
1 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped
1 tsp serrano pepper, minced
1/4 lime , wedged
1 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp cheese
2 tbsp salsa , your favorite or 2 tbsp hot sauce

Directions:

The Meat - Carnitas:.
Place all of the ingredients in The Meat section into a large pot. Add enough water to cover the meat. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil on high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until meat is falling apart.
Drain and discard any remaining garlic, cinnamon, peppercorns, and fat. Shred the pork and set aside.
You can use the meat for tacos or anything else that takes shredded pork. This recipe makes a lot of food!
The Tacos:.
Make as many as you like! The ingredients are sized for 2 tacos and not exact by any means, so multiply and mix up as necessary.
Place warm carnitas meat into a warmed fresh corn tortilla and add toppings.
The key here is a nice fresh warn corn tortilla, warm carnitas, and fresh cold toppings in the tomato, onion, pepper, cilantro, and sour cream.
Enjoy!
