Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Slow-simmered pork shoulder infused with citrus and aromatic spices, crisped to perfection and served in warm corn tortillas with a zesty onion-cilantro garnish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz pork shoulder
0.25 cup orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 small corn tortillas
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp white onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.5 whole lime
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder with cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker and pour over the orange juice and lime juice.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
For a crispy finish, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until the edges are golden and crunchy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the pork among the tortillas, then topping with Greek yogurt, diced onion, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
