Carnitas are my very favorite thing to eat since going Paleo. Affordable pork shoulder simply seasoned and slowly braised gets my vote every time. But all of that aside, let�s talk about the elephant in the room: is tequila Paleo? The short answer is yes. Any variety other than �Joven� or �young� tequila will do, since that particular one is flavored with caramel and may not be gluten-free. Otherwise, tequila comes from a plant, is gluten-free and contains no added sugars or artificial ingredients. That, my friends, gets tequila on the Paleo-friendly ingredient list and therefore into my Dutch oven with a hunk of pork and a twist of lime. Pile this on top of a batch of cauliflower rice or a baked sweet potato and you�ve got a meal deserving of a social media share!
