These are yummy and spicy carnitas! I really love the sauce that this creates, a wonderful deep-colored and balanced one! It is not sweet but it has a rich flavor. I used 4 chipotles out of the can and a bit of the sauce. This was just the right amount of spicy, not too hot but there was good heat to this dish. I used 5 roma tomatoes and I added salt. I love the low temp. roast on these (305 degrees F), it made the meat nice and tender. I used boneless pork stew meat and it was very lean and not fatty and next time, I would actually do a fattier piece of meat for even better flavor and tenderness!! I roasted my pork in a dutch oven with the lid on and after adding the sauce, I roasted for 30 more minutes and then the sauce was good and hot and bubbly. Served this with recipe#245554 and it paired wonderfully with it!!Thanks for the recipe Mexi-Rosie!!

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
