Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with aromatic spices and citrus, then crisped to golden perfection and served in warm corn tortillas with zesty lime.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz pork shoulder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp avocado oil
0.25 cup orange juice
1 clove garlic
1.5 small corn tortillas
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.5 medium lime
PREPARATION
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and rub all sides thoroughly with sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker along with the minced garlic and fresh orange juice.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork in a single layer.
Press down with a spatula and sear for 3-5 minutes until the bottom edges are crispy and golden brown.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry pan for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Divide the crispy pork between the tortillas and top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
