Rotisserie Carnitas

Yesterday I received my set it and Forget it Showtime Rotisserie from Ronco.  I picked a smaller model that can be collapsed.  I bought a Pork Butt Roast to make into Carnitas for burritos/tacos.  I was under a time crunch, so I decided to use my rotisserie for the pork.  Pork Butt Roast isn't usually cooked in a rotisserie, especially a countertop rotisserie.  Basically I was guessing how to cook this roast based on what I had read and using some deductive reasoning.   

 Can you see how the meat wants to fall off the spit?  Good stuff.

Ingredients for this recipe are:

5 lb. Pork Butt Roast

1 Dried Costeño Chile

1 teaspoons Ground Cumin 

2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

2 teaspoons Dried Onion Flakes

2 teaspoons Salt

1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

 Grind chile and all the spices together in spice/coffee grinder or blender.

 Rub spice mixture all over pork roast.

 Skewer roast on rotisserie spit and tie meat with butcher twine.

Roast pork for 2 hours with the roast setting.

Remove pork from rotisserie and using forks shred the carnitas.  

Enjoy!
