Salsa Verde Crispy Carnitas




2-3 lbs Pork
Season Salt
1-2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 White Onion
1 16oz Jar Salsa Verde ( we use the Herdez brand)

Method:

1. Cut pork into fourths, and lightly season with season salt 

2. Sear all sides of the pork on a pan or in the Instant Pot 

3. Cover meat with garlic, onion, and jar of salsa verde. Set Instant Pot on manual pressure for 60 minutes.

4. It tends to be a bit more tender if you wait for the Instant Pot to depressurize on it's own however we have done a QR and it is fine too. 

5. Shred your pork and enjoy *sometimes we will 'crisp' it up a bit on the stove ** we eat this meat as a salad topper, on buns, and as taco meat

Chicken Bacon Cesar Wraps

My friend Niki and I went to lunch a couple of months ago, and I ordered the 'Chicken Bacon Cesar Wrap'. It was amazing! So of course I wanted it everyday for a week. I decided Todd probably wouldn't appreciate me spending a small fortune on lunch for a week, so I made my own recipe. My favorite part of this recipe is the 'crunch' in the croutons, so be sure to add them last/right before you wrap up your deliciousness.



Ingredients:
1-2 Cooked Chicken Breast, Cubed
6-10 Slices of cooked bacon, crumble
1-2 Bags of shredded lettuce/shredded romaine lettuce
Cesar dressing
1-2 Cups Croutons

6-10 Flour tortilla wraps

Method:
Mix everything but the croutons together. Add about 1/3 C of the mixture to a tortilla, then top with croutons. Wrap up and enjoy!
