Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Recipe

Recipe By Lake Geneva Country Meats

Pork carnitas are a traditional mexican taco recipe that are absolutely delicious and easy to make in your slow cooker. The key to this recipe is to brown the pulled pork shoulder after it's been in the slow cooker. This searing will brown the outside of the pork creating crispy pieces in your taco. The crispy bits are the best part of the filling. Once you shred the pork, you can put it on taco and top as you like, though it's traditional to serve with fresh chopped onions and cilantro with a splash of lime juice. How do you like to top your carnitas? Let us know in the comments below
