Carnitas (Mexican Style Puiled Pork) Revised





Serves 8-12
Ingredients:
| 3 pounds pork shoulder roast, trimmed of fat cap and cut into 2-inch chunks |
| 2 teaspoons dried leaf oregano |
| 2 teaspoons ground cumin |
| 2 teaspoons Adobo Seasoning, plus more, to taste |
| 1 cup orange juice |
| 1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic |
| 2 bay leaves |
| 1 large sweet yellow onion |
| 1 12 oz. bottle or can beer or non alcoholic beer |
Directions:
- Place Pork chunks in large zip top bag; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the oregano, cumin, Adobo seasoning, orange juice, lime juice, and garlic. Pour over pork in plastic bag and toss to coat evenly. Seal bag and marinate 2 hours to overnight in fridge.
- Transfer pork and marinade to slow cooker and add bay leaves, chopped onion, and beer. Cover and cook 4 to 6 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low. Pour Juices from slow cooker into saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, discard fat and bones from pork; shred meat. Stir shredded pork back into reduced juices. Add more Adobo seasoning, to taste. Preheat oven to broil. Spread out pork evenly on baking sheet.
- Broil pork until tops are browned and crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes. Use in Sandwiches or Mexican dishes.
