Zesty Lime Pork Carnitas

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe pot. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Sear the pork in the pot on each side for 4–5 minutes until all sides are nicely browned. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the lime juice/zest, half of the chopped cilantro, and Salsa Picante, then return the mixture to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low, return the pork to the pot. Place the pot in the oven at 350°F and let the pork cook slowly for about 4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Remove the pot from the oven and let the pork rest for 20 minutes. Then, use two forks to shred the meat. Finish with the remainder of the freshly chopped cilantro.

Serve the shredded pork with warm tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and tomato salsa and enjoy!
