Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices, then crisped to perfection and served in warm corn tortillas with a creamy avocado finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Pork shoulder
2 tbsp Orange juice
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 medium Corn tortillas
0.13 whole Avocado
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
1 tbsp Red onion
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder evenly with dried oregano, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to fall apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of excess fat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork, searing it for 3-5 minutes until the edges become golden and crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame until they are pliable and slightly charred.
Divide the crispy carnitas between the tortillas and top each with sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, minced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
