Carnitas Inspired Slow Cooker Pork Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 to 1-½ lb boneless pork shoulder or butt, cut in 2” cubes (for a leaner version use pork tenderloin)
• 1 bottle Mesa de Vida Latin Inspired Cooking Sauce
• 1 onion, sliced
• Salt to taste/health needs
• Optional: juice from one freshly squeezed orange

Directions

1. Sear meat to golden brown, if desired. Add ingredients to the slow cooker, stir to combine
2. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. (If you prefer to cook this recipe in the oven transfer the ingredients to an oven-proof dish, cover tightly and cook in a 375 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes until tender.) 
3. Serve and enjoy!

Tip:

If you want to enjoy crispy bits and drive the flavor up even more, after cooking spread the meat out on a shallow baking sheet. Cook under the broiler until golden brown and crispy. Yum!
