Hey hey Mamacita!
So glad to meet ya!
Come over, I’ll treat ya
So sit and down eat, yah?
Mexican food brings me much joy and comfort. Somehow I don’t feel unique for that. Pretty much every date I’ve served sumptuous South of the border nibbles responds in kind. The hot like a cheetah mamacita just comes out. It’s on at that point with no turning back. You can’t close Pandora’s box of bodacious body bumping. So heed my disclaimer: Unimaginable pleasure will result from whipping these carnitas up. Those with whack taste buds and distaste for debauchery should probably find a new recipe site.
Total time: 25 minutes
Projected cost: $12
Drinking buddy: BANGARITA or a cerveza
Ingredients (serves 2)
1. 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
2. 2 tbsp brown sugar
3. 2 dashes CAYENNE PEPPER
4. 1/2 cup water
5. 2 chicken breasts/ pork butt
6. 1/2 onion chopped finely
7. Corn tortillas
8. 1 orange quartered
9. Cilantro for garnish
10. 1 Serrano CHILI diced
11. 1/2 AVOCADO sliced thinly
12. 1 lime quartered
13. Salsa (not pictured, see below)
Step 1
On medium heat, pour oil into the pan and sautÈ the onion and chili until translucent (approx 2 min). Add the water, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Squeeze the orange and limejuice in, throwing the peels into the mix.
Step 2
Add the chicken breast or pork butt; I used the chicken because it’s healthier, but traditionally you’d use pork. Life is all about choices so your call. Flip the chicken once the bottom cooks through (approx 3 min). Flip back and forth until all the liquid in the pan becomes a glaze (approx 7 min). Use two forks to shred the meat carnitas style!
Step 3
Lay out the desired tortillas and fill with Mamacita Carnitas. Garnish with avocado and cilantro. Finally throw down some salsa. The ultimate salsa to serve with it is a TOMATILLO SALSA of Chicago chef Paul Kahan in DETAILS MAGAZINE. Words can’t describe how epic its is!
Serve the rest of the carnitas on a platter surrounded by the orange and lime peels. You are that classy!
