Authentic Tex-Mex Carnitas

Delicious. Thank you Buns in my Oven

4-5 pounds boneless pork shoulder or pork butt, cut into 2-inch cubes, fat left intact
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 to 3 limes)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons Kosher salt, plus more to taste

For serving:
corn tortillas, cheese, Southwestern Slaw or shredded lettuce, and salsa verde

• Place the pork in a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. 
• Add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. 
• Add just enough water to the pot to cover the pork.
• Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. 
• Simmer uncovered, without stirring, for 2 hours.
• Increase the heat to medium high and stir/turn the meat occasionally. The more you move the meat around the more it will fall apart.
• Continue cooking for 45 minutes or until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the pork fat. 
• Let it fry, turning as needed, until the pieces are somewhat crispy and browned.
• Add more salt as needed and serve on tortillas with garnishes.

(Do not fear the bottom of your pan. It will be a black, thick layer of horror, but fill it with water and leave to soak over night. Everything will wipe right out in the morning.)

Bang Bang Chicken Kabobs

Nice and spicy. Thank you Center Cut Cook

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch chunks

1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch chunks

1 medium yellow onion cut into 1 inch chunks

Bamboo wood skewers

Olive oil, salt, black pepper

1/4 cup mayo

1/4 cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

5-6+ drops of Sriracha Hot Sauce – Use this to taste

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

• Soak your bamboo wood skewers in water for about 15 minutes so that they don’t burn on the grill.
• Season the chicken and veggies with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Skewer the chicken, then skewer the red peppers and onions.
• Pre-heat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat then add the chicken and veggies to the pan. Rotate the meat and veggies every couple of minutes so that everything cooks evenly. When the veggies are tender, remove them from the grill. 
• While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl combine mayo with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha Hot Sauce. Whisk it together until smooth.
• When the chicken is almost completely cooked through (after about 10-12 minutes), use a brush to spread the sauce over the chicken. Rotate the chicken and brush the other side with the sauce. Remove from grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

 So what if you don’t like things spicy? You can cut back on the heat by adjusting how much Sriracha Hot Sauce you add.
