Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Tacos
Pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices until tender, then crisped to a golden brown and served in warm corn tortillas with creamy avocado.
INGREDIENTS
7 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 tsp Lime juice
2 small Corn tortillas
0.25 whole Avocado
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
1 tbsp Red onion
PREPARATION
Trim any excess thick fat from the pork shoulder and rub the surface evenly with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker and add the minced garlic, orange juice, and lime juice to the pot.
Cover and cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it thoroughly using two forks, and discard any remaining large fat pieces.
Spread the shredded pork in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil on high for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are caramelized and crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by filling the tortillas with the crispy carnitas and topping with sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
