Tacos de carnitas

[jeff]

Tacos rule! too bad its hard to find a good taco in North America =(

This recipe makes about 8 tacos

1lb of carnitas Carnitas (little meats)
1 batch of basic salsa de tomate http://www.handsonkitchen.com/forum/...y-pupusas-472/
16 corn tortillas I really like the ole brand
1/2 lb of queso de fresco cheese
1/4 onion diced
1 small bunch of cilantro
slices of lime to serve with the tacos

Place everything out so its easy to get to.

I like to wrap the tortillas up in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds till they're warm you could also place them in a warm oven for awhile with a towel over them either way, as long as they're warm you're good to go.

Take 2 tortillas one or top of the other and build your tacos.
start with the meat and add everything else in whatever order you like. serve with a slice of lime on the side, squeeze the lime onto the taco and eat.

I'm not sure why you use 2 tortillas all I know is every time I get tacos from any legit Mexican joint they serve it with two. I guess it helps reinforce the taco.
