Method
How to make it
Pat the carnitas dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and brown the carnitas until deeply colored.
Add the aromatics with the red onion and jalapeno; cook until fragrant and just tender.
Build the smoky chipotle sauce in the pan and simmer until it clings to everything.
Fold it back together, taste for salt, and finish with the fresh herbs.
