For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the chuck roast in a hot skillet before wrapping it in foil. This will create a rich, caramelized crust. The carnitas are excellent when served immediately, but they also freeze beautifully. Simply store the shredded beef in airtight containers for a quick and easy meal later on. Serve your beef carnitas in warmed flour or corn tortillas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
