Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and warm spices until it reaches a succulent texture, served in toasted corn tortillas with zesty lime.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Pork shoulder
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 cup Orange juice
1 clove Garlic
2 medium Corn tortillas
2 tbsp Red onion
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
0.5 whole Lime
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder thoroughly with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice over it, then add the minced garlic.
Cover and cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and discard any large pieces of fat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shredded pork for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over a gas flame until they are soft and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with shredded pork, then top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a squeeze of lime juice.
