Green Chili Pork Carnitas Tacos Food

GREEN CHILE PORK CARNITAS TACOS

Steps:

• Place roast in the slow cooker and rub with seasoning. Sprinkle with salt as well! Chop onion and peppers (removing seeds/ribs of peppers for less heat) and sprinkle those over the roast as well.
• pour the cans (un-drained) of green chilies, salsa verde, & lime juice into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-9 hours (or high for about 5 - but low is preferred).
• Once pork is "fall-apart-tender" to the touch of a fork, shred with a fork. If you prefer less liquid, use a spoon to discard any excess - But I recommend letting the shredded pulled pork soak in the delicious juices until you're ready to serve on a taco shell!
• Serve as tacos with a garnish of cotija cheese, cilantro, avocado, pickled jalapenos, and a bit of diablo sauce (or toppings of your choice of course)! You can also serve as taco bowls, sliders, stuffed peppers/potatoes, so many options for this delicious pork!

PORK CARNITAS WITH GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in an ovenproof, heavy, large covered pot over high heat.(If you don't have a large pot that goes from stovetop to oven, simply prepare on stovetop, and then transfer to a covered casserole before baking).
• Add half of the pork cubes; sprinkle with half of the salt and half of the black pepper. Cook pork until starting to brown, stirring often. Remove pork.
• Repeat with remaining pork cubes, salt and black pepper, adding more oil if necessary.
• Drain drippings from pot.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same pot over medium heat. Cook onion in hot oil until tender.

• Serve pork in tortillas topped with Cheddar cheese, tomato and sour cream if desired.
