Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Pork shoulder slow-cooked until tender and finished under the broiler for a crispy, golden texture, served in warm corn tortillas with zesty lime and fresh cilantro.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 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
1 tbsp orange juice
1 small corn tortillas
2 tbsp white onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.5 medium lime
0.15 whole avocado
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder thoroughly with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker along with the minced garlic and fresh orange juice.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it with two forks, and spread it in an even layer on a baking sheet.
Broil the shredded pork for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges become beautifully crispy and caramelized.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until soft.
Assemble the tacos by piling the crispy pork onto the tortillas and topping with diced onion, cilantro, and avocado.
Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the top for a bright, citrusy finish.
