Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Tacos
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked in citrus and warm spices until succulent, then tucked into toasted corn tortillas with a bright lime-yogurt crema.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Pork shoulder, trimmed of fat
1 tbsp Orange juice
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 whole Corn tortillas
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp Red onion, diced
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the pork shoulder.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker and pour the orange juice and lime juice over the top, then add the minced garlic.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any remaining large pieces of fat.
Optional: For a classic crisp finish, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brown the shredded pork for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
In a small dish, stir together the Greek yogurt with a splash of lime juice to create a crema.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the shredded pork between the tortillas, topping with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of the yogurt crema.
