Pan frying to get the golden bits is not optional! Broiling/grilling will not produce the same results. Stuff them in tacos for an authentic Carnitas Tacos experience, see notes for other uses!

Ingredients

2 kg / 4 lb pork shoulder (pork butt) (, skinless, boneless (5lb/2.5kg bone in) (Note 1))
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 onion (, chopped)
1 jalapeno (, deseeded, chopped)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup juice from orange (2 oranges)
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

Rinse and dry the pork shoulder, rub all over with salt and pepper.
Combine the Rub ingredients then rub all over the pork.
Place the pork in a slow cooker (fat cap up), top with the onion, jalapeño, minced garlic (don't worry about spreading it) and squeeze over the juice of the oranges.
Slow Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 7 hours. (Note 2 for other cook methods)
Pork should be tender enough to shred. Remove from slow cooker and let cool slightly. Then shred using two forks.
Optional: Skim off the fat from the juices remaining in the slow cooker and discard.
If you have a lot more than 2 cups of juice, then reduce it down to about 2 cups. The liquid will be salty, it is the seasoning for the pork. Set liquid aside - don't bother straining onion etc, it's super soft.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 lb boneless pork loin roast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (20 ounce) jar salsa
4 ounces chopped green chilies, drained
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Steps:

In a 4 quart slow cooker, mix together the pork, salsa, and green chilies.
Cover and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or until pork is tender.
Stir in black beans.
Turn slow cooker to high and cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until beans are heated.
Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are ideal cuts for pulled pork because they have a good amount of fat that helps keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pulled pork. Be sure to rub the pork all over, including the sides and bottom.
Cook the pork on low heat: Low heat will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out. Cook the pork for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it. Be sure to shred the pork against the grain to make it easier to eat.
Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, coleslaw, or potato salad.
