Ancho Carnitas image

shredded pork mixed with a tangy, rather spicy, ancho sauce to use up left over shredded pork, or roast, for use as a filling in burritos, or tacos. Keeps for a long time in the fridge. Inspired by Diana Kennedy. Use less or no Serranos if you don't like it spicy, but I recommend using at least one for a bit of flair.

When it is very hot, but not smoking add the contents of the blender, and fry for 1 minute until slightly reduced, then add the carnitas and stir until well mixed and continue cooking until all pork is coated and warm.
