SLOW COOKER CARNITAS RECIPE RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• 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!
