Please be sure to follow Me Thanks

Seasoned with oregano, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, these Mexican Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Tacos are the perfect meal for any night of the week.  These are gluten free, dairy free, paleo, healthy foods

This easy carnitas recipe can be made in the slow cooker or Instant Pot for foolproof Mexican pulled pork that's juicy and flavorful. Perfect for tacos, tostadas, gorditas, burrito bowls and more! (gluten free, paleo, low carb)

10 servings

What you will need:

FOR THE CARNITAS

2 1/2 pounds pork shoulder (also known as ‘pork butt’)
1 small onion sliced or diced
4-5 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup broth (chicken, beef or vegetable) *for Instant Pot cooking method only*

How to make it:

SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS

Lightly spray crock pot with Olive Oil. Cut the pork shoulder into large 4-inch chunks. Place in the crock pot. Toss in your onions and garlic cloves minced.


Mix spices salt, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the meat with all the seasonings.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours. When tender, shred the meat by pulling it apart with two forks. Sprinkle with Lime.

Mix in freshly chopped cilantro if desired and serve in tacos, gorditas, tostadas, burrito bowls and salads.

INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the pork shoulder into large 4-inch chunks. Add onions, and garlic minced to pot. Place in the Instant Pot.

Mix spices salt, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, black pepper and 1 cup of broth. Mix thoroughly to coat the meat with all the seasonings.

Lock the lid and set the steam release vent to the "sealing" position. Press the "manual" button and set the timer on high pressure for 40 minutes.


When the 40 minutes are up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. Then manually release the remaining pressure by moving the steam release vent to the "venting" position.

Open the lid and shred the meat with two forks. Mix in freshly chopped cilantro if desired add lime juice and serve in tacos, gorditas, tostadas, burrito bowls and salads.

Pork Carnitas
Served with cabbage, onions, sour cream cilantro sauce, cilantro and limes

TIPS:

Feeding a lot you can double the recipe, I would double everything except salt, you can add more salt after cooking if you really need to.

To make this with pork loin, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of cooking fat, either olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil or whatever you prefer. Since pork loin is a much leaner cut than pork shoulder, I’d also add 1/4 cup of liquid – either broth or orange juice. The meat won’t be as juicy as if you were using pork shoulder, but it’ll still taste great!

To freeze, cool the carnitas in the fridge. Place it in an air-tight freezer bag, leaving about 2 inches of room at the top to allow for expansion, and freeze. It can be kept frozen for 4-6 months. To reheat, heat it up in medium pot on the stove or a large bowl in the microwave.

2 teaspoons paprika (mild or smoked)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder

Good pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
ADDITIONAL:
1/2 cup broth, beef or chicken
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons cornstarch


How to make it:

PORK LOIN:

Pat dry pork with paper towel. Combine 1 tablespoon of oil with rub ingredients. Season pork, rubbing the mixture into the meat.

Heat remaining oil (about 2 teaspoons) in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Sear pork all over until golden browned, rotating the pork around to avoid spices burning.

SAUCE:

Melt butter in the same pan the pork was in while scraping up any leftover bits in the pan. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a rapid simmer for 1 minute.


SLOW COOK:

Place seared pork in a 6-qt slow cooker. Pour sauce over pork; cover with lid and cook on LOW heat setting for 4 - 5 hours.

Transfer pork onto serving dish and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.

While pork is resting: pour juices from the slow cooker bowl into a pot large enough to fit the liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Mix 2 tablespoons of the juices with 4 teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk cornstarch slurry into sauce and let simmer for a good 5 minutes, or until thickened into a syrup-like consistency.

(For a thicker sauce, repeat this step with 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Add into sauce and cook until thickened (please note: sauce will thicken as it cools). Continue this step until reaching your desired consistency.)

Slice pork and serve drizzled with Honey Garlic Butter Sauce.


OVEN ROAST:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place seared/browned seasoned pork in a roasting pan.

Prepare sauce, as above. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for basting. Pour remaining sauce over pork.

Add in 1/2 cup stock and 1/2 cup water around the pork.

Cover and roast for 20 minutes. Baste with half of the reserved sauce and continue roasting, uncovered, for a further 15 minutes.

Baste again and roast for a further 10-15 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 145°F (62.5°C) in the thickest part

(If pan dries out while cooking (it shouldn't), add a little more water.)

Transfer pork onto serving plate and baste with pan juices. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes..

Scrape up any browned bits leftover in the pan, mixing them through the pan juices and pour juices into a pot. Whisk in cornstarch/stock and water mixture and bring to a simmer. Slowly add in 1/4 cup water, whisk, then add a little more if needed up to 1/4 cup, until reaching a honey-like consistency. ( sauce will thicken as it cools).

Slice pork and drizzle with Honey Garlic Butter Sauce.


NOTES

Use skinless, boneless pork, trimmed of excess fat to avoid fat melting into our braising liquid/sauce.

SLOW COOKER SHREDDED MEXICAN CHICKEN


BEST Mexican chicken perfect for tacos, burritos, tostadas, salads, or whatever you can think up.
What's in your cupboards?

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mild salsa (medium if you like spicy)
3-4 tablespoons brown sugar **
1 4 oz. can mild diced green chilies
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tsp EACH ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder,
1/2 tsp EACH smoked paprika, dry oregano, pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper (optional for more heat)
Hot sauce to taste and toppings how you like


INSTRUCTIONS
Rub chicken breasts with oil and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the hot sauce. Cook on high
for 2-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours or until chicken is tender enough to
shred.
Remove chicken to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes before shredding
(there will be liquid remaining). Return shredded chicken and let cook on
low for an additional 20 minutes to absorb some of the liquid/juices.
Drain
Taste and add hot sauce to taste if desired.

RECIPE NOTES
Use 3 tablespoons brown sugar if using mild salsa and not using ground
chipotle chili pepper. Use 4 tablespoons if you are using medium salsa
and/or the ground chipotle chili pepper. The brown sugar balances out the
heat, perfect to be smothered in cheese.

Sometimes I drain my excess liquid, I top a large bowl with a strainer and add
slow cooker contents, to get rid of all of the
excess moisture. I then use drained liquid plus additional needed water to
cook my rice for AMAZING flavored rice.
***If serving over rice, try stirring in some enchilada sauce after you
drain your chicken for some saucy Enchilada Mexican Chicken.
