Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and seared until crispy, served in warm corn tortillas with zesty pickled onions and fresh cilantro for a vibrant crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz pork shoulder
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp avocado oil
1 small corn tortillas
2 tbsp pickled red onions
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
2 medium radishes
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder evenly with the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of rendered fat.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shredded pork to the skillet in a single layer and press down with a spatula; sear for 3-4 minutes until the bottom edges are golden and crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame until they are soft and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork between the tortillas and topping with pickled red onions, thinly sliced radishes, and fresh cilantro.
