Directions
I know a lot of you share my love for Mexican food, so I think you will agree this is the most amazing pork recipe for the crock pot. Coming home from work and smelling this when you walk in the door is heavenly. To make this Carnitas recipe, the pork is seasoned to perfection, then slow cooked until fork tender with only 15 minutes to prep!,,Pork carnitas are perfect served with tortillas, in burritos, or turn it into a burrito bowl over cilantro lime rice. You can make your own Chipotles style burrito bowl with all the fixins! I usually make mine with chopped lettuce, corn salsa, guacamole, and sometimes cheese. Can you make Carnitas in the Instant Pot instead of the slow cooker? Yes! See this Instant Pot Pork Carnitas recipe.,Always brown the meat! Browning the pork first is essential so dont skip this step. Pork shoulder is very inexpensive and you can make a few meals out of this.,Keep it lean. Use boneless pork shoulder blade roast, as it is leaner than the pork shoulder picnic.,Easy Prep! To make mornings easier, prep this in the evening, it only takes about 15 minutes the night before. Get it ready and refrigerate it so you simply take it out and plug it in when you get up.,Slow Cooker Santa Fe Chicken,Easiest Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes,Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup,Slow Cooker Kalua Pork,Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
