Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker. Stir them around to ensure that all of the ingredients are well mixed.
- Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 5 hours, or until the pork is falling apart.
- Optional, but highly recommended! To crisp the carnitas, shred the pork and then heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add one tablespoon of olive oil and then add the pork. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pork is crisp around the edges.
- Serve warm, with your choice of toppings. Store any leftover carnitas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
