Andrew, you're back in top form.

Little tip for everyone: during lent, you can get Coke made with sucrose instead of corn syrup in almost every grocery store. Just look for the bottles with the gold or yellow caps labeled as kosher. Much cheaper than the Mexican coke, but kinda hard to find the rest of the year, so stock up if you want to have some for later.

@danielbickford3458

The reason why they switch recipe is away from the corn syrup is an extra religion stringency. During Passover we're not supposed to eat leavened bread and or things made from a specific list of grains. There is a tradition to avoid things that were either grown nearby those grains and or could be mistaken for those grains as an extra stringency to avoid cross-contamination.

Made these carnitas tacos, last night. I heated the corn tortillas and put a light amount of guacamole with diced white onions and cilantro with a squeeze of lime in the mix 👌🏼 delish❤

Great timing. I was thinking of doing some sort of large pork roast situation this weekend for my meals for the week. This might just make my pork rotation.

Nice that this has its own video now! Ive always kept going back to the meat tornado video for remembering little things on the recipe. The coke addition is new here though, I'll have to try it.

This is the basics ive been missing. I understand all the recent projects but this was *Italian chef kiss*

That cubano carnitas technique for a group was absolutely brilliant. Loved that.

sliders look amazing dude

little tip, for the flautas use toothpicks to keep them from coming undone, at the ends of the flautas. Once they are cooked the toothpicks simply slide out, just dont forget you use them or else you might end up with a small injury

Just to add, there is a difference between flautas and taquitos.

Some people will use them interchangeably on occasion, though. It all looks delicious either way!!

My experience has been that the distinction is common at various Mexican restaurants and universal at Tex-Mex restaurants.

an alternate to making the cream thinner, mix some milk and salt with regular sour cream until you get it to the desired consistency. i've always done it like this.

Carnitas seems perfect as a filler for both quesadillas and omelets.

Or when and how to add umami, salty, or bitter in the right amount? Maybe what foods go well with which types of flavors (or don't go well)?

If you have an immersion circulator you can make amazing carnitas with a couple of tablespoons of lard instead of two pounds. It takes way longer though.

LOVE that you didn’t use American soda. For those who haven’t had the “real thing”, visit your local Mexican grocery store (a lot of Mexican owned convenience stores have them here in Boston), and get Mexican soda.
