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!

As a Mexican, I can tell you, those carnitas look authentic. Keep preaching Matt, love your stuff. Saludos.

@gators4592 11 месяцев назад

as not a Mexican, thank you for approving so I can make the authentic way from here lol

@86HellCat831 10 месяцев назад

Lol you’re not really Mexican then…

@gregvaughntx Год назад

They say there's two types of Texans: those who were born here, and those who got here as soon as they could. As a member of the first group, I salute you. I particularly love that you called it "comino". I was in college before I learned that "cumin" meant the same thing as "comino".

Thanks for being here Greg!

@CHS0926 Год назад

Matt- these are easily the best tacos I’ve ever made. Made these for my Moms birthday/the Derby yesterday and they were an absolute hit. Can’t thank you enough for these videos. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

@recordman555 11 месяцев назад

Whether it's a Mexican restaurant, or a food truck, carnitas is always my go-to Mexican dish! Love your take on this delicious dish!

@jackrodosta7971 Год назад

Just made this today, 😊 absolutely fantastic. The only thing I did slightly different was, after I cubed and seasoned, I smoked my pork for 4 hours before I brazed. Wow, awesome recipe. Thanks, Matt.

@rockyroad8561 Год назад

I’ve just recently got into bbq, and your recipes have made me famous, this one will just be another one of my go to for taco nights.

@Keith80027 Год назад

I love carnitas after growing up in NM in the 50's and 60's. Lots of hispanic moms would cook this for lunch. Love it!

@sixmanfootball Год назад

Tacos! Another awesome looking taco that I've gotta try for taco Tuesday! Hard to imagine these being better than the Birria or Barbacoa tacos though. I also must say, I'm super glad I stumbled upon your videos. Because of you I bought a new Traeger a few weeks ago, made a trip to Waxahachie for supplies, and have been really loving cooking outside again. Thank you! I hope you never stop doing this.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Those 3 are all good.

@user-qd2hd2kr4f 10 месяцев назад

Looks super good, can't wait to make them. thanks for sharing your techniques and secrets

@wjstang 8 месяцев назад

Did this yesterday! Knocked it of the park with these tacos. All loved them with my wife growing up in the valley and an army buddy from Azusa some of the best carnitas they’ve had ever. Used Cheerwine instead of Coke because that’s what I had in the house. The tortillas dipped in lard and then heated is also a keeper. Well done. Thank you for your videos.

@jeremyatkinson7458 4 месяца назад

This is the Carnitas recipe I've been waiting for my whole life. I just made it this last weekend and it was a HUGE hit. Thanks Matt!

@martinolson761 11 месяцев назад

Looks absolutely delicious!!!

@williambroadway7681 10 месяцев назад

All your recipes are awesome

@fabian7463 9 месяцев назад

As a Mexican, it doesn't matter what race you are,authentic food is legitimate... I'm not a Texan, but when I make smoked food, people seem to enjoy it lol

@bobsmith8857 Год назад

Really don't comment much on recipes, but this one the whole family loved. They always give me a hard time because I like to smoke things on the weekend. Made these, following the directions and they were phenomenal! I did use some hot sauce on mine. But everyone loved them. Only thing I forgot...The Ranch water! Will work this into rotation of Taco Tuesdays

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know Bob. Means the world to me. Thanks for being here!! -Matt

@grillmaster07 Год назад

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!

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

I sincerely appreciate that!

@chavee70 Год назад

The last batch of carnitas I made, I changed up the pork cuts. I used pork shoulder, pork ribs, and pork belly. This was the best batch of all and is now my go to method for carnitas. I will try smoking the next batch and see how that works. All of the different textures and depth from the rib bones and belly to me is closer to the ol school way.

@bashulto Год назад

Wow, greetings from México. You took a great recipe to a whole new level!! Cant wait to try it!

@knoxparkfilms-weddingfilmm6920 Год назад

I've made Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos, Beef Rib Tacos and it was so delicious. I can't wait to make this!!

One of the best tacos around. The bbq smoke element is clutch

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Thanks Narbe!

@cottonclark897 Год назад

An awesome recipe! I'm in San Antonio, and we kinda pride ourselves on TexMex dishes. Let's just say, "I ain't made about this recipe!" 🤣 And Matt's comment about cilantro, PERFECT! I, too, feel sorry for the doubters. I'd say this recipe is next up in my Outdoor Cocina. Thanks, Matt! 👍

@FreeBird614Two Год назад

Looks fantastic, this is one of my favorite episodes. Have made carnitas a few different ways, have never added smoke or the crisping so that is definitely worth a try.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Thanks Chris. This is one of my fav things we have made.

@josegallegos6344 Год назад

Michoacán is the capital of Carnitas! Obviously there is a super traditional way like you said but still looked good! Any type of carnitas is always good 👍🏽

@ciaraperry3917 Год назад

Great video, Matt! Carnitas are one of my favorites! Will definitely have to try out your recipe on my Traeger!

Looks so good

@dvsmike Год назад

Just wanted to say i did your spareribs with pepper as the first layer and holy cow for the 2nd, smoked on a pit boss 1150 for 5 1/2 hrs, spritzed with apple cider vinegar, whiskey, and honey for the last hr and rested in jack daniels sweet and spicy bbq sauce and it came out phenomenal! That pepper layer first with holy cow after, provided a great bark and crunch. Thank you!

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

@jonathanrey000 Год назад

Onion, cilantro, chopped Serrano and fresh lime juice is my preference. But yes, carnitas are my personal favorite tacos to make also. Very underrated.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

So good!

@RARufus 10 месяцев назад

For me it’s gotta be onion, cilantro and jalapeños. If I’m feeling randy, maybe habaneros instead.

@k20fa5 Год назад

Those look amazing Matt! I've got to try these out!

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Thanks Brian!

@stevegrieb6596 Год назад

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.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

I appreciate that feedback Steve.

@dannymartinez9434 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love my carnitas but i can always take away something from what others do, looks delicious!

@heyzuesvasquez4296 Год назад

My old man used to make these over an open fire with some oak. The smoke really used to make a big difference. There were a few missed key ingredients but you did a great job.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

What would you add?

@themaddscot Год назад

So doing this... been wanting to do a taco "prep your own" cook for a while and this is now added to the meat selections.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Awesome, Bob!

@SirPartyRoc Год назад

I woke up excited for a Wednesday Meat Church video drop!! Carnitas is a family fave. I've done this similar cook with beef shank as well. Pair this with a good crema and everyone is licking their fingers when its all done. Thanks for making this simple for us backyard chefs to follow along.

@johnkowlok3231 11 месяцев назад

Holy moly that looks so good! I like red pickled onion and guacamole on carnitas tacos 🌮

@douglasschmidt6873 Год назад

Your a mad man in the kitchen sir

@johnkowlok3231 Год назад

Holy hell! This may be the most amazing recipe on RU-vid. I mean, yeah, it’s not “traditional” but a pretty darn good spin, and very doable. How many folks have a copper vat lying around that aren’t making moonshine? I can’t wait to try this. I have been trying to make carnitas using pork shoulder in my Insta-pot, and broiling in the oven to finish with mediocre success. This recipe seems like a much better solution. I am conflicted between having the fresh white onion and cilantro, or a pickled red onion with avocado chunks.

@jasonhollinger9513 Год назад

My favorite taco as well. You could make up a bunch of it to eat throughout the week…except that my family loves tacos too much to have leftovers. Lol…. They will definitely love this recipe.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Love that.
