Remember Wednesday's post about what we're feasting on today, college game day? Well, I forgot to take out the beef and the wings from the freezer. First thought this morning was, "Uh oh. I don't have any ready-to-cook meat in the house." Smooth move, Kim!
So along with my quick errands this morning (care package sent to a sick friend, perpetual library stop), I stopped at the grocery store and lucked out. Bone-in pork shoulder on sale. So...carnitas it is!
I rubbed the pork with salt, pepper, ancho chile powder, and Mexican oregano leaves.
Then seared it on all sides.
After swimming in Mexican beer, chicken broth, and a bit of fresh orange juice, the pork is ready for shredding.
Carnitas topped with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, queso fresco, and radish and accompanied by G's sangria.
