Thanks to the Twitters, I learned that February 22 is National Margarita Day. Each and every year. Que bueno! Thuan isn’t always a fan of Tex-Mex when it comes to inauthentic, Americanized, and cheese-smothered dishes you find all too often. He is, however, a fan of more straightforward dishes.
I originally planned to make skirt steak fajitas, but as day broke and the sleet and snow rolled it, it was a perfect day for slow cooker carnitas. This dish is so easy and flavorful – it’ll be a winner every time.
Don’t you love the colors of Tex-Mex cooking?
