Easy breezy carnitas

Yum, pork.  Do you love it as much as me in all forms.  Being 1/2 Jewish I feel bad loving it so much, but there are just so many options with pork.  Prosciutto, pancetta, bacon, braised, fried, anyway you cook it.....still yummy.  I also feel guilty loving it so much when my little pug Pablo reminds me so much of a fat little pig sometimes.   Anyways, Jesse found this recipe in Alice Waters the Art of Cooking that was so easy, inexpensive and just downright tasty for a Tuesday night.  Here is this super simple recipe.  I recommend buying corn tortillas, cotija cheese, salsa and some peppers to saute and serve with it.

Here is my little fat pig of a Pug.  Definitely too cute to eat.
