When I need to feed a crowd, I pull out my recipe for pork carnitas. It's super simple and makes enough for forty tacos at less than $20, including all the fixin's. The reason this recipe is so cheap is because I use a picnic shoulder pork roast. An inexpensive cut at only $.99 per pound, when prepared properly, it will fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.
There are a number of ways to make this recipe, depending on the kind of equipment you have in your kitchen and the number of mouths you're trying to feed. For three different methods (stove top pressure cooker, electric pressure cooker, or oven) visit http://joaniesimon.com/pressure-cooker-pork-carnit... or check out my step-by-step video from my home kitchen:
