Method

How to make it

  1. Pat the carnitas dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and sear the carnitas until deeply colored.
  3. Add the aromatics with the red onion and jalapeno; cook until fragrant and just tender.
  4. Deglaze with a splash of liquid, scraping up the browned bits for extra depth.
