Swap the soft tacos for corn tortillas — naturally GF and the traditional carnitas choice. They're not always in supermarkets but widely available on Amazon. Check your chicken stock label is GF too.

Dad's tip

Don’t skip the crisping step — it’s what makes carnitas. Pan-fry in a single layer, don’t stir too soon, and let each side get properly caramelised before turning.
