How to cook it

6 steps

Step 1
Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the pre-cooked carnitas in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly crisped at the edges.
Step 3
Chop the fresh cilantro and dice the onion.
Step 4
Squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl and mix with the sour cream to make a crema sauce.
Step 5
Assemble the tacos: place a spoonful of warm carnitas on each tortilla, top with diced onion, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeño if using.
Step 6
Drizzle with the cilantro-lime crema and serve immediately.
