My kids ate it up (which seems like a miracle), and my husband said, "Those are the best burritos you've ever made!" <br /><br />Thanks for making my life easier!! :DBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554668284536342656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-61713911960004393482011-07-10T14:14:53.520-07:002011-07-10T14:14:53.520-07:00In the post you link to about searing the meat fir...In the post you link to about searing the meat first, you indicated that you would post a carnitas recipe. I would love to see that recipe posted.<br /><br />When I eat out at Mexican restaurants, I literally order Carnitas 90% of the time.

It's always great to hear success stories!<br /><br />As far as the bouillon goes, 1 cube equals 1 tablespoon. Rather than cutting a cube and having half of one leftover, I would just use two--it won't make much difference.<br /><br />If you omit the tomatoes, I would guess about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of water would do.<br /><br />I hope this turns out for you! Let us know how much water you end up using and how it works!Sumikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592651891242831465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-29571845763949754892011-07-09T16:14:59.471-07:002011-07-09T16:14:59.471-07:00I'm gonna try this on Monday, but my family...I'm gonna try this on Monday, but my family's not big fans of tomatoes. Do you have a suggestion for how much liquid to replace it with?<br /><br />And is the ½ Tbsp. beef bouillon just a cube smashed?<br /><br />Love your blog. I've tried several things and they've all been fantastic!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554668284536342656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-90199786227733152782011-07-08T11:02:48.286-07:002011-07-08T11:02:48.286-07:00You and I must be on the same page, because I just...You and I must be on the same page, because I just made up two crockpots full of shredded pork a couple of nights ago!! I used pork chops because we have SOOOO many of them from our piggies. It’s a bummer how many pork chops come from one pig since we are not totally crazy about pork chops, but they seem to make great tacos. If only I could figure out how to raise bacon-only pigs…<br /><br />We had family visiting from Seattle the other day, and I used the shredded pork to make your yummy oven chimichangas, and they were a hit! <br /><br />Just a thought: if you want to sear your roasts without heating up the house, you can throw them on a very hot BBQ for a few minutes on each side and then slow cook. I do that with tri-tip in the summer and then put it in my roaster until it is medium-rare… outside on the picnic table, of course. Thank goodness for outdoor cooking or my family would have PB&J for dinner all summer long!!StaceyNnoreply@blogger.com
