Slow Cooker Carnitas

  • 3.5-4 lb boneless pork butt, cut into 6 equal pieces
  • 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp oregano 
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 8 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 large orange, juiced (save the halves)
In a slow cooker, add all ingredients and mix until pork is well coated. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours until meat pulls apart easily. Remove pork and spread onto baking sheet, shredding along the way. Pour about a cup of juice on top and broil 5-10 minutes, until meat browns. 

Serve immediately in tacos, burritos, salads, or nachos! Makes 4-6 servings.
