Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices then pan-seared for a satisfyingly crispy finish, served in warm corn tortillas with fresh toppings.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz pork shoulder
2 medium corn tortillas
2 tbsp orange juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup red onion
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.5 whole lime
0.06 whole avocado
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder thoroughly with ground cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker, add the minced garlic and orange juice, and cook on low for 7-8 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of excess fat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork, pressing down with a spatula to sear until the edges become golden and crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable.
Divide the crispy pork between the warm tortillas and top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
