This slow cooker carnitas recipe is easy to prep and makes a great filling for tamales, enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. This filling is also great combined with your favorite barbecue sauce and served on buns.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon together in a bowl; coat pork with spice mixture. Place bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and arrange pork on top. Pour chicken broth around the sides of pork, being careful not to rinse off spice mixture.
Step 2
Cover and cook on Low, turning after 5 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours in total.
Step 3
When the pork is tender, remove from the slow cooker; shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.
