Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices until it shreds easily, then crisped to a golden finish and served in warm corn tortillas with zesty toppings.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz pork shoulder
0.25 cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 clove garlic
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 small corn tortillas
2 tbsp white onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Trim any large pieces of excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut the meat into 2-inch chunks.
Place the pork chunks into a slow cooker and add the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the meat is completely tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any remaining large pieces of fat.
To achieve a traditional crispy texture, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the shredded pork between the tortillas and garnishing with diced white onion and fresh cilantro.
