In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium speed, blend in the vegetable butter until entirely mixed. Reduce the mixer’s speed and add the chicken stock in a slow, steady stream until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half and spread it out on a baking sheet with your fingertips.

2. Mix All The Components

Preheat the oven to 350 degree. In a large mixing bowl, combine the carnitas, canned veggies, onion, tomato, serrano chile, garlic, and Mexican sauce. Season with salt to taste. On top, pour the carnitas sauce.

Spread the remaining dough evenly on top of the carnitas, using your hands to completely cover the filling. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the dough’s edges start to brown.
