TEX-MEX CARNITAS

From Tastes & Tales From Texas... with love by Peg Hein, c. 1984. This dish of shredded pork wrapped in flour tortillas is a slightly different and delicious version of an enchilada.

Steps:

  • Cook pork roast 3 hours at 325*. Cool. Shred meat, discarding any fat. Place shredded meat, taco seasoning, water and green chilies in a large saucepan and simmer over low heat for 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, steam tortillas to soften. Place a generous portion of shredded pork mixture on each tortilla and fold over. May be served with refried beans, guacamole, shredded lettus, shredded cheese, sour cream, Pico de Gallo, picante sauce, or any other garnish of your choice.

1 (3 -5 lb) pork roast
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced
12 flour tortillas

  • Place the pork in a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Add just enough water to the pot to cover the pork.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, without stirring, for 2 hours.
  • Increase the heat to medium high and stir/turn the meat occasionally. The more you move the meat around the more it will fall apart.
  • Continue cooking for 45 minutes or until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the pork fat. Let it fry, stirring often to break up the meat, until the pieces are somewhat crispy and browned.

  • Beef Tamale Pie. Break out your cast-iron skillet for a comfort-food fix. We can't decide which part we love the most: the bubbly, super flavorful beef filling or the toasty cornbread topping (made with store-bought corn muffin mix) dotted with jalapeños.
  • Chili Cheese Enchiladas. Instead of using a canned enchilada sauce, this recipe makes a Texas-inspired chili gravy that is insanely delicious. You can use ground beef, leftover chicken, or even a rotisserie chicken to add extra protein.
  • Slow-Cooker Carnitas Tacos. This convenient shortcut for crowd-pleasing carnitas tacos will totally transform Tex-Mex Tuesday. Broiling the meat on a sheet pan to brown and crisp the entire batch at once makes all the difference.
  • Slow-Cooker Cowboy Beans. Throw pinto beans, bacon, bacon drippings (oh yeah), garlic, onion, chipotle, and other ingredients to a slow cooker and then forget about it.
  • Austin Diner-Style Queso. Every meal should start with a batch or two of this cheese dip, but especially when there are little ones or extra company present.
  • Easy Taco Casserole. Turn tacos into a quick and easy beef casserole supper complete with toppings everyone can pick and choose. Our method is simple: layer ground beef sauteed with fire-roasted tomatoes, pinto beans, and spices over corn tortillas.
  • Queso-Filled Mini Peppers. Once you've had a bite, these adorable and cheesy mini peppers will disappear before your eyes. We lightly char the peppers before whisking together a cheese mixture to spoon inside.
  • Pulled Pork Nachos. You'll love this easy-to-assemble recipe for a fun snack, quick-fix dinner, or party appetizer. To make it easy, grab some shredded smoked pork from your favorite BBQ joint.
  • Frito Pie. Say hello to Texas' version of a walking taco filled with beefy goodness, like chili, crunchy corn chips, shredded cheese, and diced white onion.
  • Creamy Tex-Mex Cornbread Bake. Cornbread? With Tex-Mex? Sounds about right with this Southern crowd. This skillet bake is hearty but lightened up with ground turkey and low-fat milk.
