HOW TO | Make Pork Shoulder Carnitas on the Grill
My favorite meat option on burritos and tacos is Carnitas. Making them the traditional way requires using a cazo, burner, and deep frying the pork in lard for hours at end. Its quite laborious and fat galore. In this video I show you a way to make carnitas at home using my Weber kettle grill. It takes about 5hrs for 7lbs of pork shoulder. The result is similar if not better than what you get at some Mexican restaurants (where sometimes the pork is crispy, dry, and tough inside and outside). Try it this way, you will not be disappointed.
The rub is based on the common carnitas recipe on the web. It includes salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, onion, garlic, lime juice, orange juice. I didn't follow the portions, I just eyeball it, here's one that is very close to it (minus the coke).
*TIP - to get a longer cook time out of your charcoal, put some unlit coals in the grill, then place the hot coals over it. Its like the Jim Minion method.
