carnitas is usually pork, but thats beef shoulder boiled for hours then pulled and fried. Salsa is homemade tomato, ancho, sugar, onion and spice. Not super authentic, but closer to real Mexican cooking that you get over there.

get a chunk of beef, boneless shoulder is good. 2-3 pounds or 1-1.5kg

brown in hot oil, then cover in water or stock, add salt, a couple cloves, a pinch of cinnamon, and maybe a chili or two, and slowly simmer for 3-5 hours until rediculously tender. Let cool in liquid. Shred. Fry shreds in oil to give texture, then serve with tortillas, salsa, lime wedges, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, cheese, beans, or whatever youve got laying around. Would be good with some boiled taters as well.
