Michael- the following is a quick recipe for pork fajitas that we like
very much. The mixture of orange juice and vinegar is (I believe) meant
to replicate sour orange juice. Take a look at this recipe and consider
adding some oregano, garlic and cumin to your carnitas.

What tabasco sauce?

I agree ...almost.... with this recipe. I'd add ground dried chile powder (single
chile) and juice from couple limes.
