Got this "disco" custom welded as a gift. Decided I didn't want to eat bbq this weekend so instead I made carnitas out of my Smithfield Pork butt.

First I melted 2 packs of lard and threw in an onion and some jalapeños for flavor.

I then threw in the chopped pork butt pieces.

Once the meat was half way cooked, I squeezed some fresh orange juice and sprinkled salt in the mix.

While that was cooking I chopped onion, cilantro, limes, and made some green salsa to go along with the carnitas tacos!

I then shredded the pork
