Mexican Lager with Lime Carnitas

Ingredients

CARNITAS
8 lb bone-in pork butt
3 jalapeños (diced)
2 Spanish onions (diced)
2 Tbsp olive oil
24 oz. Mexican Lager with Lime

DRY RUB
1/4 C salt
3 Tbsp cumin
1.5 Tbsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp black pepper

BBQ SAUCE
8 oz. Mexican Lager with Lime
1 jar of Dortmunder Gold Lager BBQ Sauce or Edmund Fitzgerald Porter BBQ Sauce

Method

For the carnitas, pat the pork dry and cover with dry rub. Brown onions and jalapeños in olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Remove veggies and set aside. Sear pork on all sides. Once seared, add beer to the Dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Add browned onions and jalapeños back to the Dutch oven. Cover the Dutch oven and roast at 325° F until the bone falls out (about 4.5 hours.) ​In a small mixing dish, combine Mexican Lager with Lime and BBQ sauce and mix well.

Once the pork has cooked, shred with two forks and serve on corn or flour tortillas. Garnish with fresh jalapeño slices, guacamole, queso fresco, and BBQ sauce drizzle.
