Killer Crockpot Carnitas (Slow Cooker)
The best crockpot carnitas you’ll ever have! Killer Crockpot Pork Carnitas made in your slow cooker so it couldn’t be easier!
Years ago I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. They showed a Mexican restaurant that people lined up out the door for. Apparently they had killer carnitas which they showed how to make. I say they showed how to make them, but if you’ve ever seen the show you know that means they just listed off the ingredients and showed it start to finish in about 10 seconds. They made theirs in huge batches, but I watched it over and over until I figured out the proportions of ingredients. After a few experimental tries, and several years of making them, I’m pretty sure I’ve mastered pork carnitas. This meat is as good as it comes and makes one killer taco. If you are still making ground beef tacos, they will quickly become a thing of the past once you try this recipe. And it’s made in the slow cooker so what’s not to love! Get ready for taco cravings!
