Carnitas is a traditional Mexican main dish and filling used in tacos and other dishes. Typically made with less expensive cuts of pork, the cooking method employed for carnitas renders the meat soft. So, today I made my carnitas sous vide, then threw them on a really hot grill to get a nice sear before I chopped it all up.

Sous vide is so easy because really all you have to do is babysit it. Mike made his WWE debut alongside his wife Maria Kanellis at WWE Money in the Bank, and the adoring couple have made it clear that they have come forth to to guide the WWE Universe in the. Cultivating a better world is more than just food. You won't claim it's yours unless it's a collaboration between us. I hope that one day that Mike would get back into it.
