Description

Crispy and tender pork slow cooked to perfection, stuffed inside flour tortillas.

Ingredients

  • 1  Pork Shoulder Or Butt (2 To 3 Lb. Size)
  • Cajun Seasoning (or Adobo Seasoning)
  • 3  Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
  • ¾ cups Chicken Broth
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Olive Oil
  • Flour Tortillas, To Serve
  • Various Fixings (Avocado, Pico De Gallo, Etc.), To Serve

Preparation

Rub your pork shoulder or butt with seasoning. Toss in a crock pt with chipotle peppers, broth and garlic. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. After the pork cooks for several hours, break it apart. I just stabbed it with a meat fork and it fell apart. Then when you are ready to put it all together, get a skillet on the stove hot with 1-2 tablespoons oil (medium high heat). Then drain the pork and toss it in. This will give it crispy edges and make it taste like authentic carnitas meat.

You can fix your tacos with whatever toppings or sides you want. I used low carb tortillas, avocado, pico de gallo and sauteed bell pepper. For sides I had rice, beans and corn on the cob.

This is a great easy recipe for a busy day. I put it in the crock pot at lunch and it was ready for dinner. Had just the right kick of spicyness!
