Easy recipe with few ingredients to get flavorful, delicious carnitas. This does not have the citrus flavor of many carnitas recipes. After I remove my meat from the Crock Pot, I crisp it up a little under the broiler.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs
Directions:
1. Combine spices and seasonings in a small bowl; rub into pork. (I then let it sit at room temp for about 15 minutes, though I don't really know if this helps).
2. Place in Crock Pot and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Chop or shred meat, and stir in a little of the cooking liquid to moisten.
3. Great for tacos, burritos, tortas and more!
