How I Make Carnitas And Carnitas Burritos In A Slow Cooker

22
1
My recipe for Carnitas. 
3 or 4 pounds of boneless pork shoulder
1 teaspoon of salt
3 garlic cloves roughly chopped 
1 teaspoon of ground cumin 
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano 
1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander 
2 bay leaves 
1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon 
2 cups of chicken broth 
1/2 the juice of an orange 
Large burrito wraps

Step 1 gather all ingredients in a small bowl 
               Except the bay leaves 
Step 2 place pork in plastic bag. A grocery         
               bag works fine
Step 3 rub ingredients on the pork. 
Step 4 place bay leaves in the bottom of               
              the slow cooker and pour chicken 
               broth over them. 
Step 5 place pork in the slow cooker and 
               Add Orange juice. I also place a few 
               Orange peels in to help break down
                The fibers and the cologne in the 
                 meat. Remove these peels at the 3 
                  hours time.           
Step 6 set slow cooker on high for 3 hours 
Step 7 after the 3 hours on high flip the pork     
               over. Set the  cooker on low for 
               2 hours or until the pork is tender.

Resists lifting the lid of the slow cooker and letting heat and moisture out. It will slow down the cooking. 
  • I make my carnitas burritos with  X large spinach burrito wraps, cheddar cheese, cilantro, avocado, sour cream and salsa. This can be served with Spanish rice or refried beans.  

I have seen forums here about things like BBQ’s, dogs and cats, and knitting. So I thought why not a forum about cooking.
I noticed how the members who criticize Martin go scurrying off this sight when Martin logs on. 
Enjoy.  Quack!
