Carnita Bowls are made with baked flour taco shells, lettuce, tomatoes, pork carnitas, cheese and cilantro. All can be made ahead and assembled later.
Ingredients
  • 1 package Smithfield brand Pork Carnita meat
  • flour taco shells
  • lettuce or prepared salad mix
  • tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • cheese
  • guacamole
  • salsa
  • sour cream
Instructions
  1. Cook the meat according to package directions. Mine took about 2 3/4 hours at 350 degrees until the pork can be easily shredded.
  2. Have the flour tortillas at room temperature. Shape the tortilla inside of the taco pan. You can also drape the tortilla over an ovenproof bowl. Bake for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees until shell is hard. Cool.
  3. Add the lettuce to the taco bowl. I use a prepared salad mix we love.
  4. Then top with the warm shredded pork.
  5. Add the cheese.
  6. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side.
