Method

  1. Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Add the carnitas taco and let it brown-butter, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
