Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked in citrus and spices until it pulls apart easily, served in warm corn tortillas with creamy avocado and crisp radishes.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz pork shoulder
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 small corn tortillas
0.25 whole avocado
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 medium radish
PREPARATION
Mince the garlic cloves and rub them onto the pork shoulder along with the ground cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the meat.
Cover and cook on the low setting for 8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it with two forks, and optionally sear it in a hot cast-iron skillet for 2 minutes to achieve crispy edges.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and slightly charred.
Slice the avocado and thinly slice the radish.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the shredded pork between the tortillas and topping with avocado, radish slices, and fresh cilantro.
