Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty. This makes a great filling for tamales, enchiladas, tacos and burritos. This filling is also great combined with your favorite barbecue sauce and served on buns.

Pork shoulder is simmered in a slow cooker with chiles and spices, then served on tortillas with pico de gallo. This recipe stems from a household that loves carnitas and has perfected it. It makes a lot of food and I have never thrown a piece away. My neighbors, employees, family, and friends love it. A must for social occasions.

'We first sampled this chili-like soup at a church dinner,' writes Glenda Taylor of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. 'It's a warming dish on a cold day, and since it uses packaged seasonings and several cans of vegetables, it's a snap to prepare.'

The basics of this recipe came from my mom, and it was passed down to her from her mother and Oma. I changed it a little, and you can too. You can braise in basically any liquid you want. The short ribs come out so delicious and tender, and there is not an overwhelming sauce to overpower them.
