Carnitas with Pico De Gallo

Submitted by: jamielynne
Pork shoulder is simmered in a slow cooker with chiles and spices, then served on tortillas with pico de gallo. This recipe stems from a household that loves carnitas and has perfected it. It makes a lot of food and I have never thrown a piece away. My neighbors, employees, family, and friends love it. A must for social occasions.

I used to visit my friend Teresa in Brownsville, TX. We would cross the border to this open air vendor/food stand to eat this. The cook did not or could not hide her ingredients, so we know what was put in this dish. You can serve this with rice, beans, or make it into wraps. The ingredients are very forgiving, so feel free to increase or decrease the amount stated.
