Enjoy some slow-cooked carnitas tacos that are worth the wait.
Ingredients
- 1 Can 10 oz. mild diced tomatoes & green chilies
- 1 1.12oz of McCormick fajita seasoning mix
- 2 32oz of beef broth
- 1 pork shoulder boston butt roast
- 1 cup of sherry cooking wine
- Dry ingredients: garlic salt, pepper and salt
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- Corn tortillas
- Monterey jack/cheddar cheese (optional)
- 3 tsp. vegetable or coconut oil
- Cilantro
- Green onions
Directions
- Season pork shoulder to your liking with: Garlic salt, salt, and pepper on each side.
- Add 4 tsp. Of olive oil to a pan and cook the pork shoulder on medium-heat for 5 minutes on each side. This will give the pork a nice sear.
- Add the pork shoulder to the slow-cooker and add 1 cup of sherry cooking wine on top, beef broth, can of mild diced tomatoes & green chilies, and 1.12 oz of McCormick Fajita seasoning mix. Give it a quick stir.
- Set slow-cooker to a low heat for 6-8 hrs.
- Chop green onions and cilantro
- Once the meat is completely cooked and falling off the bone, heat up taco shells.
- Add 3 tsp. of vegetable oil or coconut oil to a pan and cook on medium-heat each corn tortilla by folding it in half and cooking for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is hardened.
- Shred the carnitas by taking to forks and separating the meat.
- Assemble the tacos, by adding the shredded carnitas meat & sauce, green onions, ciltrano, and (shredded cheese optional).
- I like to add a cholula sauce or green salsa on top.
Pairs nicely with Spanish rice, pinto beans, or a salad
