Directions Carnitas Flautas (Pork Rolled Tacos)
Directions
-
Place pork roast into the bottom of a slow cooker. Cover pork with red salsa, garlic, chili powder, and salt.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low until tender and cooked through, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Turn off slow cooker. Remove any fat from pork and discard. Transfer pork to a large bowl and shred well using 2 forks. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
Pour olives, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and green salsa over pork. Mix well until thick and not runny.
Warm tortillas in a skillet over low heat to soften, 15 to 20 seconds per side.
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
Add a spoonful of pork mixture to each tortilla and roll up tightly. Place rolled tortillas in hot oil and fry until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Keep warm and serve with remaining 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, and guacamole.
