Instructions

  1. 1

  4. 4
    Pour in chicken broth until meat is halfway covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce to lowest heat.
  5. 5
    Cover and braise for 2.5-3 hours until meat shreds easily with a fork.
  6. 6
    Remove meat and shred coarsely. Drizzle with some braising liquid for moisture.

    Optional: Quickly sear carnitas in a skillet until crispy.
  8. 8
    Serve as a bowl: rice, black beans, carnitas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Pro Tips

  • Low and slow braising is key—rushing will dry out the meat. The cannabis-infused butter distributes evenly throughout the meat during the long cooking time.
