Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder shredded and crisped to perfection, served in warm corn tortillas with zesty lime and fresh cilantro for a vibrant, savory crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Pork shoulder
0.25 cup Orange juice
1 tbsp Lime juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 medium Corn tortillas
0.25 cup Red onion
2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder on all sides with ground cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker along with the smashed garlic cloves, orange juice, and lime juice.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any excess large pieces of fat.
For a crispy finish, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shredded pork for 3-5 minutes until the edges are golden.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Divide the shredded pork among the tortillas and top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
