- If opting to use a fresh tenderloin or shoulder, brine it in 1/4 cup salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp chili powder and ice water for 12 hours. Pull, pat dry, season and place in a crockpot for 8 hours + fat side up. Add beef stock and seasonings to pot as well..
- If you're looking for an effort free way to season your fresh pork while in the crockpot - go to your local Carniceria [only] and ask for their best recommendation. Purchase two packets..
- Fork shread or chunk your fresh Carnitas and allow them to rest in their juices until ready to fry. Save your juices and vegetables grin pot to make a tasty salsa..
- Add drained shredded pork from crockpot and place into boiling lard..
- Fry until pork is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside..
- Or, if you're interested in an even easier way out of making Carnitas - head to your local Mercado [only] and ask the butcher for the best pre-brined and pre-seasoned Carnita tenderloin they have. You'll typically bake at 350° for 2.5 hours in a sealed bag..
- Again, fork shread or chunk your pre-seasoned Carnitas and allow them to soak in their own juices until serving. Add your favorite red salsa if you find the flavor to be too smokey for your taste..
- Chop and mix everything together in your Stacked Refried Beans section. Heat in microwave, mix, heat again, seal tightly and do not refrigerate..
- Place beans in 6 to 12" fresh warmed flour tortillas..
- Wrap your burritos, chimichangas and/or enchiladas up tightly. You can also Panini your burritos..

Just open, mix heat and serve..
