These carnitas tacos get loads of flavor from tender braised pork shoulder that gets a simple topping of diced white onion, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Feel free to top it all off with our Simple Guacamole for a bit of creamy texture.

These tacos were a disappointment. The pork was dry and tough, and the tacos were bland. I won't be making these again.
