This is Lauren's recipe for making Carnitas in the crockpot. Carnitas is a classic Mexican recipe for making slow-roasted pork. They're great for making tacos, burritos, or just about any other Mexican dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- 1 (15 - 18 oz) jar of salsa verde
- 1 (10 oz) can of Rotel tomatoes
- 1 (4 oz) can of diced green chiles
- 1 medium white onion, chopped into large pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
Instructions
Step 1
Place all of the ingredients in a greased crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until pork easily forks apart.
Step 2
Serve buffet-style with flour tortillas, cheese, cilantro, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and a squeeze of lime.
Step 3
Make sure to get some of that yummy sauce the pork is in inside your tortilla.
