Description

Pork Carnitas with a surprising kick from a “secret” ingredient. Great meal for a busy day!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 pounds Pork Tenderloin
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 whole Bell Peppers, Cut Into Strips
  • 3 whole Garlic Cloves, Crushed
  • ½ whole Large Vidalia Onion, Sliced
  • ¼ cups Hot Cherry Pepper Juice
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine the cumin, onion powder, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture onto the pork tenderloin making sure to cover it completely.
In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over med-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin to the pan and sear, approximately 1-2 minutes on each side.
Place the tenderloin in the bottom of a slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Cover with the peppers, garlic, onions and cherry pepper juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Uncover and shred the meat using two forks. Stir the carnitas mixture with the juice, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve with whatever idea you dream up. I toasted corn tortillas and added the carnitas mixture….topped it with red onion, pepper jack cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce and avocado. Instead of sour cream I used Fage low-fat greek yogurt.
