I am looking for any recipes for cooking carnitas in a caso.?

PORK CARNITAS


1 boneless pork shoulder or loin roast (2 to 3 pounds), trimmed and cut into 3-inch cubes


1/2 cup lime juice


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


12 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed


2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese


2 medium avocados, peeled and diced


2 medium tomatoes, diced


1 medium onion, diced


Shredded lettuce


Minced fresh cilantro, optional


Salsa


In a slow cooker, combine pork, lime juice, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour; stir. Reduce heat to low and cook 8-10 hours longer or until meat is very tender. Shred pork with a fork (it may look somewhat pink). Spoon about 1/3 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla; top with cheese, avocados, tomatoes, onion, lettuce and cilantro if desired. Fold in bottom and sides of tortilla. Serve with salsa. Yield: 12 servings

This is what my husband does- he is Mexican from Mexico, and has made carnitas since he can remember- his dad owned a carneceriia. In a blender- whole garlic, a coke- not pepsi- he swears this makes a difference, salt, a couple oranges, and some milk- sounds like crap, but the best damn carnitas I have ever ate.I am looking for any recipes for cooking carnitas in a caso.?
