Pulled pork carnitas made easy in a slow cooker and then broiled until all nice and crispy, moist tender and oh so good!
Pork was on sale this week and I grabbed some right away to make carnitas! Pork carnitas is a roast pork dish where the pork is typically roasted before cooking the tender pieces of pork in the rendered pork fat until all crispy and good! The pork ends up being nice and moist, juicy and tender on the inside while crispy on the outside! Yum! I like to make carnitas super easy by throwing the pork into a slow cooker until the it is falling apart tender before shredding it, tossing it with the juices along more of the salsa/marinade before broiling it in the oven until the edges are crispy. This version is so easy to make, requiring very little effort, and the results are amazing! Normally I use a citrus juice, cumin and oregano marinade but this one uses a homemade smoky chipotle salsa. I can’t wait to share how I used this super easy and tasty chipotle slow cooker pork carnitas!
