    Carnitas

    • Pork shoulder
    • Oranges
    • Limes
    • Salt

    Dump it all in a pot, come back in 4 hours. Optionally, crisp it up in a pan or under broiler.

      Few more ingredients but my carnitas have always been a crowd pleaser

      • Pork shoulder
      • Coke
      • Orange juice
      • Chicken stock
      • Canned Chipotles in adobo
      • Onions
      • Garlic
      • Spices - I mix it up a bit, but salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and oregano will usually get you there. Packet or two of taco seasoning would probably do the trick as well

      I tend to eyeball everything, but usually about a 12oz can of coke, oj and stock until it looks right, one onion chopped up, however many cloves of garlic I feel like peeling and chopping

      If the pork shoulder fits I do it in a pressure cooker on high about 2 hours, if it doesn’t I do it significantly longer in a slow cooker

      When it’s falling apart, pull the bones out, shred (I like to use a mixer)

      Then like you, crisp it up under the broiler, and maybe mix in some of the cooking liquid
