Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Combine salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon in a bowl; evenly distribute the spice blend onto the pork.
3
Position bay leaves at the bottom of a slow cooker and position the pork on top. Pour chicken broth around the edges of the pork, taking care not to wash away the spice mixture.
4
Seal and cook on Low for an extended period, flipping the pork every 5 hours, until it becomes tender and easily shreds with a fork, approximately 10 hours in total.
5
Once the pork is tender, carefully remove it from the slow cooker; utilize two forks to shred the meat. If needed, supplement the shredded pork with the cooking liquid to maintain its moisture level.
