Raise your hand if you like carnitas!!
Keep it up if you like guacamole ![]()
And if you like pizza?
Okay. Basically we are new-found best friends and you should totally come over for dinner this weekend.
Carnitas and Guacamole Pizza is a game changer. It’s true. You’ll be begging for more of this cheesy and guacamole filled creation. Here’s how it happened…
I’ve been cooking up a storm because I leave for France on Friday and I’m scared that since I’ll be gone for 2+ weeks that my poor fiance will have nothing to eat. So I’ve been throwing things in the slow cooker and what not and then freezing individual portions for lunches and dinner. Who wins fiance of the year? Clearly I do
Kidding.
Anyways, so I made a big batch of carnitas the other day and I couldn’t just freeze them all. I think by now we’ve established that I am a carnita freak and I had to had a serving of these myself. So Thomas suggested tacos. I had other things in mind. Mainly pizza. Pizza with the shredded carnitas, spicy cheese, chipotle tabasco and lots and lots of guacamole. I mean, you could use a monterey jack cheese too… but I found this habanero laced cheese from Whole Foods the other day and it basically leaves your lips smoking hot, to which the solution is a perfectly chilled margarita. So that’s what we did. And the carnita pizza was born.
This is my go-to recipe for carnitas and you can whip up a batch of this and make it last for days. Or you can whip up a half batch and just make pizza. Either way, you’re going to fall in love. The key to the carnitas is freshly squeeze orange juice and your favorite salsa. And the addition of the chipotle Tabasco sauce in the guacamole makes for the perfect partner in crime.
So you should totally make this. Kthanksbye

I love the idea of adding carnitas on top of a pizza! I just might add a fried egg and call it a carnitas breakfast pizza!
OMG! This is SUCH a great idea. And I happen to have frozen pork carnita leftovers in my downstairs freezer.
Mercy! That looks like a pizzas best dream!
You have one lucky fiance! When’s dinner?
