Ingredient List
- 2 lb boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of fat, cut into 2 or 3 pieces
- 1 box Mezco™ Carnitas Flavor Duo Sauce and Spice & Herb Blend
- Water as called for on box
- Vegetable oil
- 8 corn tortillas (6 inch)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup refried beans, heated
- 1 cup salsa verde (from 16-oz jar)
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese (4 oz)
Preparation
- Cook and shred pork as directed on box, using preferred cooking method.
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1/8 inch oil over medium-high heat just until hot. Cook tortillas in oil, one at time, about 1 minute, turning over after 30 seconds, or until crisp; drain on paper towel-lined plate. Discard any remaining oil.
- Heat same skillet over medium heat. Working in two batches, heat 1 tablespoon oil, and break eggs, one at a time, into custard cup or small bowl; carefully slide 4 eggs into skillet. Cover; cook 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes or until whites and yolks are firm, not runny. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 4 eggs.
- To serve, top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon refried beans. Using a slotted spoon, top each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the carnitas mixture, a fried egg, salsa verde, avocado and cheese.
Tips
- The carnitas can be made up to 2 days in advance for a quick weeknight meal.
- Start to finish time for this recipe is based on using the pressure cooker to cook the carnitas. You also may use your oven or slow cooker as directed on the box.
- Change it up! Try a fresh pico de gallo or red salsa in place of the salsa verde.
