Carnitas, AKA “little meats”, is a Mexican dish that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork lard until tender, then slightly pulled and crisped. The result is juicy, yet crispy. Carnitas are one of my favorite tacos of all time traditionally served on fresh corn tortillas with cilantro and onions.
Bonus Ranch Water recipe included in this video – Ranch water is a classic Texas cocktail. Making this in a Topo Chico bottle is a fun way to make this drink portable. It’s only 3 ingredients and has been cooling off Cowboys for years. Cheers, y’all!

Could you use country style ribs for this?
New knife set ?
Hell yea Matt. Great video.
I love cilantro but hate raw onions lol. It's a curse. Cook them then I'm fine tho. Anyway, fantastic vid, thanks!
There is just something disturbing about trying to watch a cooking video and a ZuPoo ad pops up! Love your channel, but youtube’s selection of ads is just insane!
Keep up the good work! We will definitely try this one!
Can the final smoking be done on a Treager?
What kind of lard????
Amen on the cilantro statement. My sis says it tastes like soap, too. Poor gal…
Matt I've always been taught/told that you should fold up and "crease" fresh bay leaves before adding. Releases their oils more completely is the reason. Interested in your thinking on this.
Carnitas are my favorite, too, I love your videos, but why so many Dove commercials?
Man, I seen every way you can make carnitas. I've seen it in person from old Mexican ladies. Dude! You frickin nailed it better than I ever saw! I see why they are the best you have ever done! You rock man! Awesome job! I just wish I could have tried one. I think I can actually taste it because I know your seasoning! Thanks for the inspiration!
Gotta try this. One of the things I love about your channel is you keep it real. Thank you for not posting your favorite recipe for Vegan Quiche Lorraine. Also, I appreciate your support of Texas businesses. Yeah, I saw that bottle of Bolners. Very fine channel. I recently did the Bowl of Red recipe and it was excellent.
Making these for my own personal Stars watch party tonight! Hope we put Dumba in a dumpster. #GoStars
ditch Yeti, theres so many better companies out there without liberal agendas.
Is that a cast iron pot or is it coated?
This Ladies and Gentleman is what’s call The Christopher Columbus Syndrome ????
Onion, cilantro, chopped Serrano and fresh lime juice is my preference. But yes, carnitas are my personal favorite tacos to make also. Very underrated.
You’re starving? Im starving. I don’t have a butt but I did get a pretty fatty loin. I guess I know what I’m doing with it.
You could eat old shoes on those tortillas.
