great recipe. The pork is so tender. You can take it out of the crock pot and make your tacos without frying them for a healthier version. the flavor is great. I only cooked it for 4 hrs on high and came out perfect. so easy!!!!!! I am making my posole tomorrow! I was just wondering if you used the fried carnitas for the soup or the pork without frying it.

This recipe is wrong, twice you write about lemon, but the photo show lime. I just put lemon in mine as that is what the recipe said but then noticed the photo of lime. Just making you aware. Hope they still turn out ok.

Amazing!! I used a cast iron skillet to crisp up the meat at the end and deglazing it with the beer made this dish perfect. I also used the skillet to heat up the corn tortillas so that they didn’t fall apart while eating the tacos. I added sliced grape tomatoes to the chopped avocados. My family said it was the best Mexican dish I’ve made in 20 years. Thank you!!

I know this post is older, but I just wanted to say I made this for dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious.

I am confused. I didn’t use any chilies in this recipe.

I was wondering if you can tell me what kind of chilies you used? There are so many different chilies and in Australia (where I live) they don’t have canned chillies. I once found a tin of roasted poblano chillies, which have a very distinct taste, at a specialty shop. Is that the kind you mean? I really want to make this but have had some crockpot disasters from using ingredients that ended up not being comparable.

Thanks heaps

These were fabulous! I made them a couple nights ago and my husband (who is a huge authentic mexican food lover) LOVED them! It took a lot of work to keep him from eating the leftovers so we could make the Pasole… We are trying that tonight and hopefully its worth the sacrifice! At any rate, we are already planning to make them for our whole extended family at our next get together! Fabulous!

These were great! Carnitas are now right up there with fish tacos for me. Thanks for a super recipe. I plan to also make the posole very soon.
