Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and pan-seared until golden, served in warm corn tortillas with a zesty citrus finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz pork shoulder
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 small Corn tortilla corn tortillas
1 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and place it in a slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the citrus marinade over the pork and cook on low for 7-8 hours until the meat is tender and easily falls apart.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any remaining large pieces of fat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork in a single layer.
Press down with a spatula and cook for 3-5 minutes without stirring until the bottom becomes crispy and deeply browned.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork between the tortillas and topping with finely diced red onion and fresh cilantro.
