Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds trimmed (boneless pork shoulder blade roast)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
black pepper (to taste)
6 cloves garlic (cut into sliver)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon sazon (homemade or packaged)

3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (to taste)
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon dry adobo seasoning (I used Goya)

Steps:

Season pork with salt and pepper.
In a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat, brown pork on all sides for about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Using a sharp knife, insert blade into pork, cutting small holes and insert garlic slivers all the way in so you no longer see them.
Season pork generously with cumin, adobo, sazon, oregano all over.
Pour chicken broth in the crockpot, add bay leaves and chipotle peppers.
Place pork in crock pot and cover.
Cook low for 8 hours.
After 8 hours, shred pork using two forks and combine well with the juices that accumulated at the bottom.
Remove bay leaves and adjust salt and cumin as needed.
Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.

SLOW-COOKER CARNITAS TACOS - SOUTHERN LIVING

Tender, flavorful, slow-cooked pork carnitas are traditionally crisped up on the stovetop in a skillet. Using this convenient shortcut, you can broil the meat on a sheet pan and brown and crisp the entire batch at once. Pork carnitas, the Mexican version of pulled pork, can also be used in enchiladas, sliders, and quesadillas. This recipe has a very short prep time, making it an easy choice for busy weeknight meals. Combine the pork shoulder with chicken broth, orange juice, garlic, pepper and salt in your slow cooker, set it in the morning and forget it. Shred the finished pork, remove it from the liquid using a large slotted spoon, and spread the meat in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil on high until pork begins to brown and crisp. Serve pork carnitas with the traditional taco toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, queso fresco, cilantro, and lime wedges. If you are feeling real adventurous, make your own corn tortillas while the pork slow cooks. Make pork carnitas tacos for your next backyard cookout and don’t forget to add a big pitcher of margaritas.

Put the sliced onions in a medium heatproof, nonreactive bowl. Put the vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, bay leaves, sugar, coriander and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the red onions and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
