Peyton loves the carnitas at Chipolte. She always orders a carnitas burrito every time we go. I'll admit I am partial to their steak but I wanted to make carnitas at home for Peyton so I gave it a shot. Plus, making it in a big batch is perfect for family get-togethers.

Plus it makes reheating this ...
