I make this recipe all the time, my kids and every single visitor whose eaten them LOVES them! I sometimes use a pork shoulder or other cut, and it doesn't matter in the least, it is always wonderful. We eat it in tortillas (flour or corn, or indian chapati bread and sandwiches. Awesome recipe, as all of hers are!
