High-quality close-up of crispy tortilla chips, popular Mexican snack, isolated on a white background.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the carnitas taco, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
  6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
