I like making my own spice mixes, including Homemade Taco Seasoning, so when I decided to make delicious Instant Pot Pork Carnitas, I wanted to make the seasoning mix myself as well.
There are not too many ingredients in the pork carnitas seasoning recipe, so it is very simple to make. Plus, when you make it yourself, you will know where each ingredient comes from, and you will be able to control how spicy your carnitas spices are. As the pork carnitas seasoning mix contains chili powder, you will want to be the one controlling the amount of the chili powder going into the pork carnitas spice mix.
If you like your carnitas spicy, then add more chili powder to your pork carnitas seasoning mix, than this recipe calls for. If, on the other hand, you want your pork carnitas not to be too spicy, follow the recipe instructions, and add just a bit.
