How to Make the Juiciest Slow Cooker Carnitas

@kristatorres has an easy way to make the juiciest slow cooker carnitas!

FULL RECIPE BELOW:point_down:
INGREDIENTS:
4 lb boneless pork butt, or shoulder, cut into six equal pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
8 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, quartered
3 leaves bay leaf
1 lime, juiced
1 large orange, juiced, save the spent halves
RECIPE:
Cut pork into 6 equal pieces. Add it to the slow cooker.
Add salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, garlic, onion, bay leaves, lime juice and juice the orange. Add orange to the cooker as well. Mix together until the meat is well-coated.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat pulls apart easily.
Remove the pork and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Shred the pork and spread across the baking sheet in a single layer.
Pour about 1 cup (235 ml) of the liquid remaining in the slow cooker over the shredded pork. Broil for 5-10 minutes until the meat browns and crisps along the edges.
Serve immediately. Great as a filling in tacos, burritos, salads, or nachos!
Enjoy!

I would cast iron both sides medium high a minute or 2 with onions and then put it in the slow cooker for more flavor. Either way looks yom

Cumin and oregano are too pungent for carnitas.

I would sear the veggies and add a bottle of Mexican Coke.🤔

You don’t have to show id if you are not committing a crime or suspected of a crime. The cops have to tell you what crime they suspect you of committing before they as for it
