Coca-Cola Carnitas

  1. Sprinkle the pork on all sides with the garlic powder and plenty of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the pork fat over medium-high heat in a small, heavy Dutch oven or braiser (see Cook's Note).
  3. Add the pork and fry on all sides until well browned, about 20 minutes.
  4. Add the Coca-Cola and 1/2 cup water (there should be just enough liquid to cover the sides of the meat).
  5. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  6. Add the tarragon, bay leaves and thyme.
  7. Cover and simmer until the pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours; the Coca-Cola will caramelize and the liquid will evaporate completely.
  8. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred.
  9. Serve with warm corn tortillas (charred over a flame) and toppings on the side: salsa verde, diced onions, cilantro, radishes, lime wedges and avocado.
