I made this in the crock-pot. This is just one reason I love cooking at home. My husband the pickiest eater I know- LOVED this!!! It was perfect, although… I did add 1/2 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper. Perfect! The left over’s became tostada’s

This was a fantastic recipe! I threw everything in the crock pot and let it cook for about 6 hours on low and it was delicious! I will be making this often and my husband thanks you.

I made this for some neighbors who are going through a hard time right now. It was absolutely delicious! I added a little bit of chopped jalapenos from my garden to the tacos and made some mexican rice and pinto beans to go with them. Both the neighbors and my husband raved about them. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks!

This has become my go-to recipe when I’m looking to serve a number of people. The seasonings are delicious (though I add chipotle chili powder) and it comes out divine every time as long as you give the meat time to get tender!

Two other things I do with mine- I cut up the pork shoulder into large chunks to make the cooking time a little faster and I splash in a healthy cup of the cooking juices before I pop it into the oven.

To sum up- THANK YOU for posting this recipe- it is my favorite TK recipe of all time!

Cotija cheese is usually found by the cream cheese, or string cheese or refrigirated bagels. It’s round like a puk and is in a clear plastic packaging. You can use any shredded cheese if you cant find that.

Queso Fresco is also a good choice.

This was so. delicious. I made it last night and I added chipotle chili powder (a magical ingredient) and I also added some liquid when I baked it. It was such a hit- thank you!

By the way, we used corn tortillas and I feel the flavor overpowered the meat. I will use something different next time.

Really great… I added a small can of peppers in adobo… gave it a little extra spicy kick. I made soft tacos exactly as pictured and I think the end result was absolutely restaurant worthy. Thanks!

This recipe is outstanding! I made it for my family yesterday. We travel to Mexico frequently and are big fans of carnitas as well as carne asada tacos, so there was a lot of pressure on this dish. This was better than anything we have had in Mexico. I didn’t change a thing except I cooked it in a crockpot instead of on the stove top. Oh, and I doubled the amount because my family is ravenous! : ) I highly recommend this one. Thanks so much for sharing!
