Smoked Pork Carnitas
I picked up a nice pork shoulder the other day and wanted something a little different, so I tried Smoked Pork Carnitas.
I rubbed the shoulder with; Brown sugar Paprika Ancho chili powder Chipotle chili powder Hot Mexican chili powder Cumin Mexican oregano S/P On to the smoker at 250 degrees After about 4 hours, I put the butt in a dutch oven with, green chilies, onion, cilantro, and beef stock. This went back on the smoker at about 300 degrees for another 2 hours. Pulled And plated up on corn tortillas with home made pico, red onion, and fresh cilantro. These were some of the best tacos I've had in a long time.

Man that looks so good. I did my own version of carnitas and after the pork was done on the smoke, I chunked out large hunks and tossed them into the dutch oven that had some hot lard in it, seasoned with the mexican spices and took it off to chop...amazing. I love carnitas. Your tacos look off the hook.

Looks great. How much lard would you add per pound of pork?

Looks great. Tell your neighbor to get rid of the gas grill and get a charcoal.
