7. Homesick Texan Carnitas
Tell us one thing that is better than perfectly braised meat? How about layering that braised meat on top of a crispy tortilla? Yes please. With this recipe you braise the pork for 2 hours (and do not touch it), and then brown the meat for another 45 minutes, which is how it gets the amazing flavor and texture. Then you serve that meat on a tortilla, topped off with avocado, onions, lime juice, or whatever fixings you like.
