Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and pan-seared until crispy, served in warm corn tortillas with zesty lime and fresh cilantro for a vibrant, savory bite.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz pork shoulder
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
2 whole garlic cloves
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 whole corn tortillas
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and add the orange juice, lime juice, smashed garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork, pressing it down with a spatula to sear until the edges are golden and crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over an open gas flame for 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork between the tortillas and topping each with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
