Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas with Fresh Avocado Salsa
Enjoy tender, slow-cooked pork carnitas with a crisp finish, paired with a fresh, zesty avocado salsa. The balance of succulent pork, creamy avocado, and bright citrus creates a dish that is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Pork Shoulder (Lean)
1/4 Avocado
1/2 medium Tomato
1/4 small Red Onion
2 tbsp Cilantro
1 medium Lime (juiced)
1/4 cup Cooked Black Beans
Spices (Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Garlic Powder)
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. If possible, score the fat lightly.
Place the pork in a slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until it’s tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, remove the pork and transfer it to a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes until the edges become crispy.
While broiling the pork, prepare the avocado salsa by dicing the tomato, red onion, and avocado. Combine them in a bowl.
Add chopped cilantro and squeeze in the juice of one lime. Mix the salsa gently, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Optionally, toss in cooked black beans for added protein and fiber.
Serve the crispy pork carnitas topped with the fresh avocado salsa. Enjoy warm!
