  • Remove and discard any remaining fat.
  • Transfer back to Dutch oven and heat the olive oil.
  • Add the orange juice and milk and cook until liquid has evaporated and pork has browned; stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chop onions and cilantro, and slice avocado and limes.
  • Place each in small individual bowls for serving.
  • Heat tortillas in a dry frying pan and keep warm.
  • For each taco, stack 2 tortillas and layer with warm carnitas, chopped cilantro, onion and avocado slices and give it a good squeeze of lemon juice.
