Slow Cooker Carnitas Recipe by Tasty

Step 1

Cut pork into 6 equal pieces. Add it to the slow cooker.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat pulls apart easily.

Step 4

Remove the pork and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Shred the pork and spread across the baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Serve immediately. Great as a filling in tacos, burritos, salads, or nachos!

Step 7

Enjoy!
