Notes

Taking this to an event: Place in an oven-safe container for transport. When you arrive at the event, put in a 200°F oven to keep it warm. Do not cover the dish because the crispy “cuerito” will get soft if you do. Meat thermometer: Internal temp will be 185°F when ready. No Picnic Cut: just buy a pork shoulder - it won't have the fat, and you won't get any “cuerito” - but it will be delicious. Leftovers: Make tacos!
