“I made this using leftover store-bought carnitas, and store-bought salsa. Something ended up soaking through the bread so it was too soggy to eat by hand but still yummy with a knife and fork. The pickled onions are an easy and amazing touch.” — a cook
“I was planning to make a carnitas this weekend.... Now I know where the leftovers will be going.” — a cook
