Carnitas Tacos Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Pork

   In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and shreds easily.

2. 2

   Prepare the Salsa

   In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix with chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste to create the avocado salsa.

3. 3

   Shred the Pork

   Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat and bay leaves.

4. 4

   Assemble Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, top with avocado salsa, and sprinkle with cotija cheese and additional cilantro as desired.
