Crockpot Pork Carnitas. Every tortilla dreams of being stuffed with Carnitas. The best of the best of Mexican food, seasoned pork is slow cooked until tender before gently teasing apart with forks and pan frying to golden, crispy perfection. Mix together salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.

Perfect for filling tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more! While Carnitas are traditionally made by simmering large chunks of seasoned pork in hot lard on the stove top, then coarsely chopping to achieve the name Carnitas (translated as "little meats"), virtually the same result can be achieved in the slow cooker then baking and broiling the meat once shredded to achieve the crunchy bits. I use a pork shoulder for this recipe. Just like Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or Crock Pot Pork Chops, this recipe needs a nicely marbled fattier cut of pork. As it cooks low and slow it becomes melt in your mouth tender.
