Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with aromatic citrus and spices, served in toasted corn tortillas with a vibrant squeeze of fresh lime.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork shoulder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Orange juice
1 whole Corn tortillas
2 tbsp Red onion
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
0.5 whole Lime
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder evenly with sea salt, black pepper, ground 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 for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any excess large pieces of fat.
Optional: For crispy edges, place the shredded pork on a baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly toasted.
Divide the shredded pork between the tortillas and garnish with finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a fresh lime wedge.
