Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Succulent pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices until tender, then crisped and served in warm corn tortillas with a bright cilantro-onion finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless pork shoulder
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
2 whole garlic cloves
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 medium corn tortillas
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
2 tbsp red onion
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker along with the orange juice, lime juice, and smashed garlic cloves.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork in a single layer.
Sear the meat for 3 to 5 minutes without stirring until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork between the tortillas and topping with Greek yogurt, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
