Instructions
- Begin by making the crockpot pork carnitas. You can either make the full recipe and have leftovers or freeze some for later, or you can make half the recipe to use for the tacos.
- When the carnitas are about a half hour away from being ready, prepare the rest of the meal. Place all the ingredients for the carrot slaw in a medium-sized bowl and toss so that everything is evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce.
- Add the guacamole ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and mix together so that it is combined but still a little chunky.
- When the carnitas are ready, serve them on the corn tortillas with a little slaw, guacamole, and the sauce on top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You'll use about half of the meat from the crockpot pork carnitas in these tacos. The leftovers taste great in sandwiches, on nachos, or piled on your plate with rice for dinner.
