damn i wish i had a camera it came out bomb....

i simmered the lard,added garlic cloves,oranges, actually belive it or not limes will burn it faster because of the acid but u can still use thoughs.

i seasoned the meat with garlic powder,onion powder,ancho chili powder,salt,pepper.put some seeds from serranos in the oil..threw about a liter of soda in and let them cook for 2 hours...they fell apart and i actually made carnitas hamburgers.....damn.....there bomb...

Get a Pork loin put it fat side up in a roastin pan rub with genorous amount of salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregeno place like 1/4 or 1/2 cup o water in the bottom of the pan, cover with foil and bake at 400 for 1hour 25 min or until loin looks carmelized and water is gone. Cool, then shred leave in roastin pan and scrap up bottom bits on pan then place back in oven till desired crispness is achieved. Then check seasonings and add more if needed
