Method
How to make it
- Pat the carnitas dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and sear the carnitas until deeply colored.
- Add the aromatics with the avocado and roma tomatoes; cook until fragrant and just tender.
- Deglaze with a splash of liquid, scraping up the browned bits for extra depth.
