Carnitas

Pork has to be one of my favorite meats. I mean its bacon, ham, chops, loins, roasts. How do you go wrong? One of my favorite things to do with a pork roast is season and sear then plop it in the crockpot with a jar of sauerkraut. The vinegar in the kraut makes the best pork roast ever. Seriously. Even my picky 7 year old asks for more!

But, what's ever better than awesome and easy pork roast with kraut? The leftovers! I always cook enough pork for at least 2 dinners. The leftovers go back into the (clean) crockpot with homemade green chili salsa for another 3-4 hours. Then the next day you take some of that delicious pork roast that soaked up all of the green chili salsa and you cook it in a fry pan until slightly crisp. My mouth is watering just typing this. I love to take the carnitas and layer it into nachos or a burrito but the last time I made it I had soft taco shells, new ones from Mission- blue corn and flax seed soft taco shells. They were really good too but they do not qualify for clean eating. Pro tip- toast the tortillas in the pan you crisped the pork in for a little extra awesome.

Anyway, here is a picture of the taco all dolled up with salsa, avocado, cheese and sour cream.

Happy Eating!
