Simple Crock-Pot Carnitas

Submitted by KlynnPadilla

"Easy recipe with few ingredients to get flavorful, delicious carnitas. This does not have the citrus flavor of many carnitas recipes. After I remove my meat from the Crock Pot, I crisp it up a little under the broiler."

 

• Ready In: 8hrs 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs

directions

1. Combine spices and seasonings in a small bowl; rub into pork. (I then let it sit at room temp for about 15 minutes, though I don't really know if this helps).
2. Place in Crock Pot and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Chop or shred meat, and stir in a little of the cooking liquid to moisten.
3. Great for tacos, burritos, tortas and more!

I made these and then used the meat in tacos with the works... Very tasty indeed!
