SLOW COOKER CARNITAS RECIPE BY TASTY
Have you ever gone out for Mexican food, eaten carnitas, and thought "gosh, I wish I could make this myself"? Well, you can with the help of your slow cooker.

Then, you can enjoy your home-cooked carnitas in tacos, burritos, or on top of your favourite grains.

MEXICAN CARNITAS
