Crockpot Carnitas Tacos
Cook once and eat two entirely different dinners this week with this juicy and delicious easiest ever crockpot carnitas recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 lb Boston Butt Pork
- 1 Mojo Marinade
- 8 Flour tortillas
- ½ Red onion diced
- 1 bunch Cilantro chopped
- 1 Lime cut into wedges
Instructions
Dinner #1 - Pulled Pork Served with Yellow Rice and Black Beans
- Remove wrapping from the pork roast.
- Pour the entire bottle of Mojo Marinade over the meat.
- Place the lid on the crockpot. Set to low heat and cook 8-10 hours.
- Use a slotted spoon or meat fork to carefully remove the roast from the crockpot and place it into a large bowl. It will be tender and falling apart as you move it.
- Shred the pork using 2 forks.
- Season with seasoned salt and black pepper, then mix together well.
- Serve pulled pork with yellow rice and black beans.
Dinner #2 - Carnitas Tacos
- Reheat leftover pulled pork in the microwave.
- While the pork is heating, dice some red onion, chop the cilantro, and cut the limes into wedges.
- Lay your taco shell on a plate. Top with pork, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top. Fold it up and enjoy!
Notes
In addition to the two meals shown, here are some other ways you can serve leftover pulled pork:
- BBQ Pork Flatbread Pizza – Make it just like BBQ Chicken Flatbread but with pork instead of chicken.
- BBQ Pork Sandwiches or Sliders
- Pulled Pork Nachos – Place a layer of tortilla chips on a baking dish. Top with pulled pork, shredded cheese, pickled jalapeno slices, and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with a drizzle of sour cream and barbecue sauce.
