I have been looking at recipes on the web. Are you going to cook the pork in lard?

I'm sure yalls food is delish, but actually carnitas Tex-Max style is cubed pork thats more like a stew than fried.
carnitas con calabaza is pork stew with squash.
the usual Tex-Mex ingredients include chile powder, comino, garlic and onions, usually with corn added.
served with hot corn tortillas

That may be true, or rather your not sure how they are cooked. Look up a few recipes and you will quickly realize the pork is simmered in lard traditionally.

No problem, i am trying to get over the whole simmering in lard thing. I got a few extra pounds and dont need to add anymore. But damn the whole pork in pork cooking is sounding sinfully good.

many decades of eating local Tex-Mex usually has pork carnitas as a type of stew.... maybe it's a San Antonio/South Tex thing...
never seen 'em breaded and fried...
not knocking fried pork, just what is around here.
calf nuts on the other hand are dang good rolled in cornmeal and deep-fried... little horseradish and ketchup sauce... like I said... food in pics looks delish
