Slow Cooker Carnitas Tacos

Set it and go!

I love a good slow cooker recipe. Being able to put all of the ingredients in a pot and leave it is extremely helpful on busy nights like when the kids have practice. These were so delicious with just a simple chopped onion and fresh cilantro on top. Sometimes the more simple, the better with food.


Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs pork butt

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp cumin

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 1/4 cup orange juice

Directions


Step 1

Mix all dry ingredients together and then sprinkle all over the pork.


Step 2

Place the pork in a slow cooker and drizzle the lime and orange juice on top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.


Serving suggestions: corn tortilla shells filled with the carnitas and topped with diced onions, shredded cabbage and fresh cilantro. We even had a little lite sour cream too!
