PREPARATION

  • 1

    Trim any excess thick fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 2-inch chunks.

  • 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the dried oregano, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

  • 3

    Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the pork chunks.

  • 4

    Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the top.

  • 5

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

  • 6

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

  • 7

    For a true carnitas finish, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shredded pork for 3-5 minutes until the edges become golden and crispy.

  • 8

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until pliable.

  • 9

    Divide the crispy pork between the two tortillas.

  • 10

    Top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a slice of avocado before serving.
