I found this recipe in my mom's most recent neighborhood cookbook. She always purchases a copy for everyone in the family and I am so grateful. There are always so many good recipes in them. This recipe has become a favorite in our house. I told Christy to try it and she has made it for several of my other family members. We have yet to meet anyone who is not a big fan of these carnitas.
Pork Carnitas
Ingredients:One 4 pound pork roast
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
pepper
1 T. beef boullion
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
2 T. chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 - 1 cup water
Method:
Brown pork roast on all sides (I have also used pork sirloin chops). Combine all other ingredients in a slow cooker. Transfer the browned pork to the slow cooker and Cook on high for 4 hours. Remove, discard fat, and shred. Add cooking liquid to the shred to your taste. Serve on tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
