Simple Pork Carnitas

View Recipe  • Print Recipe

Make a big batch of Pork Carnitas and use it for several meals!!   I like to use pork tenderloin because it seems to have less fat.

Just dump it all in the slow cooker and let it do the work.

Cook it low and slow so the meat gets tender.  You should be able to shred it with your tongs, right in the slow cooker.

Tip Tip Tip! – If you make a big batch and freeze some of it, be sure to freeze it in the liquid so it doesn’t dry out.

Tacos! Bowls! Burritos! Nachos! This recipe is super versatile.

My favorite – the BOWL! OH my YUM!
