Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

A simple and flavorful recipe that promises tender and savory results, these carnitas are perfect for your next gathering or when you're craving a satisfying meal.

Start with 1.5 lbs of pork tenderloins, which become incredibly tender during the slow cooking process. Combine them with a jar of salsa for a burst of rich and zesty flavor. To enhance the savory goodness, add a packet of taco seasoning and a touch of coconut aminos.

Let the slow cooker work its magic, as the flavors meld together, and the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. Once it's ready, you'll have a delicious and versatile filling for tacos, burritos, or bowls. Enjoy the convenience of the slow cooker and the authentic taste of homemade Pork Carnitas!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pork tenderloins, about 1.5 lbs

  • 1 - 16 oz jar salsa

  • 1 packet taco seasoning

    STEPS

  1. Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-7 hours or high for 4 hours.

     

    Notes: Love to serve this over my Mexican quick slaw, tacos, bowls, or a salad. Such an easy quick protein option that’s full of flavor.
