This is one of my favorites that I don't cook often because of the fat content. All that carmelized fat makes it sooooo delicious. Put this meat on tacos, tortas, sopas, in burritos, or just eat as is :). I like to serve with my tomatillo salsa, mexican sour cream, onions, cilantro and diced hot pepper.
