Carnitas means “little meats” and are the result of braising pork over low heat for hours until tender. Once shredded, it forms a delicious topping for a crispy tortilla. There are a myriad of toppings you can use—pickled onions, salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, shredded cabbage and cheese. Whatever the toppings are, the pork is so flavorful that it will shine through.
Put the crispy pork back in the hot oven for 5 minutes to rewarm.
Divide the pork carnitas among the crispy tostados. Top with your choice of shredded cabbage, avocados, guacamole, tomatoes, cheese, pickled onions and /or sour cream.
