aka: taco de carnitas, carnitas taco, roast pork

pairs-with: corn-tortillas, salsa-roja, refried-beans

slack: narrow — the ten under the broiler have no room at all: crisp edges to dry shreds inside a minute, and the fat stayed in the pot

washing-up: the Dutch oven

keeps: 3 days — the meat keeps, the crisp edges do not; back under the broiler, never in the microwave

step: shred, crisp under the broiler 10 min
