Big thanks to Smithfield for sponsoring this post. Y’all. I went and ate a big ol’ pan full of tortilla chips for breakfast. Don’t be alarmed – this is totally a thing. Chilaquiles. Have you ever had them? Now, I believe that the authentic version uses corn tortillas rather than actual tortilla chips, but I like my version better and so that’s what I’m sharing with you today! You’re going to fall in love with this super quick breakfast recipe. It makes a pretty great brinner too! I’m working with Smithfield again this year (yay!!) and I wanted to bring you something tasty that features their new-ish Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas. I love this product because all of the seasoning work is done for you! You just pop the meat in the slow cooker or Instant Pot (check out my recipe for pressure cooker carnitas!) and let the magic happen on it’s own. Super easy! I cook the meat in orange juice for a bright citrus flavor that pairs so well with the rich pork. Seriously – the combo is out of this world good. Anyway, I’m showing how to make the carnitas in a slow cooker below, but feel free to click over the pressure cooker carnitas recipe and make them that way if you’re in a hurry! Once your carnitas are done, this recipe will be ready in about 10 minutes. Seriously – this goes QUICK! You crumble up some tortilla chips, toss in some carnitas, add in some eggs, swirl in some enchilada sauce and cheese. Boom. Breakfast. Or brinner. Either way, this is bursting with flavor and a really nice change from boring old bacon and eggs. I like to eat the carnitas as tacos or nachos for dinner and then pop the leftovers in this dish. It’s a perfect way to put a spin on leftovers so no one gets tired of eating the same thing twice!
