Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and warm spices, then crisped to a golden finish and served in warm corn tortillas with a zesty lime-yogurt drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz pork shoulder
0.25 cup orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
0.5 tsp cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 medium corn tortillas
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 tbsp red onion
PREPARATION
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and rub thoroughly with cumin, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork in 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 shred easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it, and place it in a hot non-stick skillet for 3-5 minutes to create crispy edges.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until pliable and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork among the tortillas and topping with Greek yogurt, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
