Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-cooked pork shoulder infused with zesty citrus and warm spices, then crisped to golden perfection and served in soft corn tortillas.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Pork shoulder
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Cumin
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 cup Orange juice
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 clove Garlic
1.5 medium Corn tortillas
2 tbsp Red onion
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
1 wedge Lime
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder evenly with sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the top.
Add the minced garlic clove to the liquid, then cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it thoroughly using two forks.
For the signature carnitas texture, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shredded pork for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Divide the shredded pork between the tortillas and garnish with diced red onion and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with a fresh lime wedge for squeezing over the tacos.
