The Best Kind of Taco (in my opinion)
I love tacos. Whether “gringo” or street style, filled with meat and/or seafood, I’m always down for a taco. But my favorite filling has been and always will be pork carnitas. The combination of tender, juicy meat on the inside with a just-crisp-enough exterior is unmatched.
Typically this filling is topped with a cilantro and onion relish, but I like to add in chopped tomato, jalapeño, and serrano to turn it into pico de gallo. Finally, fresh corn tortillas send this dish over the top. It’s a process, but if you’ve only ever had store-bought then making them yourself will open your eyes.
The easiest part about this is the pork itself. I pull meat and fat from my Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe (sans barbecue sauce) and fry it up in a skillet, making this ideal for a weeknight.
