Carnitas Tacos

Yum! Are you noticing my trend of "pork" this summer. "The other white meat." There is a reason Spanairds are thin! = lots of pork & fish in their diet in small portions.

10 minutes of prep (mostly chopping, heating meat & tortillas).
  • 1 pkg of TJs "carnitas" (located near sliced meats) already cooked.
  • TJs Salsa Verde
  • Corn tortillas
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Shredded cheese (white, orange or both!)
  • Diced tomato
  • Diced avocado
  • "Dollup of Daisy" - Sour Cream
*basically top w/ any of your favorite toppings. Our family loves a "drop" of "Valentina" hot sauce, even Bella loves that stuff.

These are made similar to the "pork & chili stew" (see other blog) OR you can just heat meat, pull apart and serve. For the "stewed version" - in a saucpan, add meat, 1/2 jar of TJs salsa verde, 1 C of chicken broth - heat on medium/high until hot.

Use a fork to strain meat from saucepan, add to tortilla, family makes their own creations!
