Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and pan-seared until golden, served in a warm tortilla with zesty lime and fresh cilantro for a crispy 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 medium corn tortilla
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Place the pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper into a slow cooker.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 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 excess fat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork, pressing down to develop a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Warm the corn tortilla in a separate dry skillet until pliable and slightly toasted.
Assemble the taco by topping the tortilla with the crispy pork, the Greek yogurt, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
