Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and pan-seared until golden, served in warm corn tortillas with crunchy cabbage and a zesty lime squeeze.
INGREDIENTS
6.25 oz pork shoulder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup orange juice
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium corn tortillas
0.25 cup red cabbage
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.5 whole lime
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder evenly with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker along with the smashed garlic clove and orange juice.
Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shredded pork to the skillet and press down with a spatula, searing for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry pan or over an open flame for 30 seconds per side.
Divide the crispy pork between the tortillas and top with shredded red cabbage and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with a fresh squeeze of lime juice over the top.
