If you’re looking for something truly authentic and Mexican that time can be spent on, look no further! Caramelised Pork Carnitas Hard Shell Tacos is a slow and low cooked dish, that can take up to 6 hours. It’s therefore a great dish to make on a weekend, when it can be left to work it’s magic whilst you go about your day.
Our NEW Hard Shell Tacos couldn’t be better paired than with the incredibly tender and juicy pork carnitas! They have a really moreish crunch that has you coming back for more and more after each one. Just load them up and make Taco Night every week!
For this recipe we have marinaded pork shoulder with our Chipotle Paste for that truly smoky depth of flavour. It is then added to a baking tray along with orange juice and garlic, covered in foil and then slow cooked for hours, letting all of those juices steam the meat inside.
When you are ready to eat and you have stuffed your Hard Shell Tacos with meat, dollop some Tomatillo Salsa, crumble some feta cheese, sprinkle some coriander and finally squeeze fresh lime on top. Perfection!
