Pork Carnitas Pizza is a fun new exciting way to enjoy everything you love about carnitas and pizza in the same bite! Add whatever yummy toppings you like to the top to make it extra special! Let me show you a few little tricks for getting this pizza on the table in no time!

Ever since visiting Mexico last year my family has been crazy about all things Mexican food! We just can’t help ourselves. Pork Carnitas Pizza combines so many of the yummy flavors we fell in love with in a fun new way. Of course we love this pizza because it’s so yummy but it’s also one of those quick and easy meals I can pull together in no time at all! We all need a few of those ideas up our sleeve!

My family enjoys Pork Carnitas pizza anytime but it’s become a staple on busy weeknights thanks to being able to use Smithfields Marinated Boneless Pork Shoulder Roast.

You guys this pork is a great way to bring real flavor real fast to your meals. It makes my life so much easier and that’s exactly what I need if I’m going to get dinner on the table in about 30 minutes!

• The pork is already seasoned so it’s packed with flavor before you even open the package which saves me time when I’m in a hurry!
• The pork is cut into little “medallions” and that helps them cook even faster than they would if they were left as a whole piece of meat.
• Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is 100% pork so you can feel good about serving it to your family!
• There are several other flavors too; Smithfield Marinated Homestyle Pork Roast, Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Loin Filet (Can’t wait to try that one), and more

Pork Carnitas Pizza is a great solution to those crazy busy weeknights!

Smithfield Marinated Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas can be cooked in a variety of ways; in the pressure cooker or in the slow cooker. In fact, you can even cook them on the grill, saute, or roast them if you want.

I added meat and a little bit of orange juice to the s pressure cooker and cook until tender. Cook in the pressure for 40 minutes or in the slow cooker on high for 3 hours.

Remove meat from cooker and shred with two forks. It should be falling apart!

Assembling Pork Carnitas Pizza couldn’t be easier! We’re talking less than 30 minutes from beginning to the end!

Move oven rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Set premade pizza crust on a pizza pan or baking sheet.

Spread with enchilada sauce.

Sprinkle cheese over sauce.

Spread shredded pork over cheese!

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Cut into slices.

Top with chopped fresh cilantro and red onions if desired.

And that’s all there is to it! Dinner is ready!

Pork Canitas Pizza really is a breeze to make especially if you use premade pizza crust and use cheese that’s already shredded.
