Description

Crock Pot Pork Carnitas that are allergy friendly and will please the pickiest of eaters! You can find a recipe for morphing the leftovers into something completely new on my website.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CARNITAS:
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 2-½ pounds Pork Loin, Trimmed Of Excess Fat
  • 12 ounces, fluid Beer, Or Chicken Stock
  • ½ cups Orange Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Chile Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 12 whole Corn Or Flour Tortillas, For Serving
  • FOR THE MEXICAN SLAW:
  • 1 Tablespoon Sour Cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Greek Yogurt
  • 1 whole Lime, Juiced
  • ¼ cups Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups Shredded Cabbage

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large stockpot over high heat. Sear the pork roast for 1-2 minutes per side. (Skip this step if you are really in a time crunch.)

Place the pork into a crock pot. Combine the beer (or stock), orange juice, salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, chile and cayenne together and pour over the meat. Set the crockpot to low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-7 hours. Shred the meat with two forks and mix into the juices that were rendered while cooking.

For the Mexican slaw:
Stir together sour cream and Greek yogurt with lime juice, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in shredded cabbage. (If you like a creamier topping for your tacos, use more sour cream and yogurt.)

Serve the meat on a tortilla topped with the slaw.

Note: I like to make the slaw after placing the meat into the crockpot to give the slaw time to develop flavors. But it can be made last minute.
