My Texas Plate: Easy Slow Cooked Carnitas Makes a Comforting Bowl for Family Meals

#cookwithlisa

Anytime and any season is a great time to make this for the family. While we are all home it is perfect dish that can serve your hungry family with lots of leftover possibilities.

This recipe gets lots oooh’s and ahhhh’s when I post the photo on Facebook so I thought I would share it with you.

Regardless of whether it’s cooked it in an Instant Pot, Crock Pot or oven, it is delicious and very hard to mess up. For a crispy finish, after it’s cooked, place under broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the meat. You won’t regret that.

There is so much savory broth, be sure to include that in your bowl meal or make a stew or soup with the left over broth and shredded meat. The canned chipotle adds a subtle smoked flavor but it’s not to hot for the kiddos. Of course, you can leave it out but you’ll be missing that extra flavor that puts it over the top.

Load your bowl up and top with a multitude of your favorite toppings such as sliced avocado or store bought guacamole, store bought pico de Gallo, sliced jalapeños, salsa verde, corn, beans, cheese, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro and on and on!

The point is that this is soooooo easy to prep, cook and serve. Lay out the toppings and let your family choose their favorite toppings.

This recipe is great for family gatherings for lunch, dinner and celebrations!
