Crockpot Carnitas

CrockPot Carnitas

It is a budget week for us! I found this 6.4 pound Pork Shoulder that I have planned for 3 dinners and lunches for 2 adults for the week.

Meal # 1 - Crockpot Carnitas

Meal #2 - BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders

Meal # 3 - Cheesy Pork over yellow rice

Rinse, Dry, and season meat really well. DON’T BE SHY! Get in there with some seasoning! Brown it in a pan with butter and oil on all sides.

Heat your crockpot up on high and cook that meat for 5-6 hours on high til its literally falling off the bone! The goal is 200 degrees to make it tender!

Before adding your meat, add the following to your CrockPot:

• 2 cans of green chiles

• onion/bellpepper/and garlic (I did 5 cloves)

• juice of 2 oranges and 2 limes

• salt/pepper (yup - more seasoning)

• 2 tbsp of cumin

Once the meat is done, drop your tortillas in that juice, throw them in a pan to brown up, add cheese and your pork and fold/serve them once they get crunchy! These are simply heavenly!
