Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Carnitas
In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Cook
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Shred the Meat
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices.
Warm the Tortillas
In a skillet, lightly toast the blue corn tortillas over medium heat until warm and pliable.
Serve
Assemble the tacos with the shredded carnitas, and serve with cooked rice, black beans, tortilla chips, and salsa on the side.
