Tonight we had Tex Mex Carnita's! I bought a Boston Butt at Publix on sale (about $7.50) and threw that thing in the crock pot (thawed for the most part) before work and it was done cooking when I got back! I did not add anything, just cooked it to begin with. It produced it's own water.
Cook in crock pot on low for 6 hours aprox or on high for 4 hours. After cooked, shred with fork and replace shredded boston butt back into crock pot. Add all the below ingredients and mix well. Adjust seasonings if needed according to your taste.
Recipe:
2-3 lbs pork (boston butt)
1/2 c. diced yellow onions
1/4 c. diced green chiles (canned is okay)
3 fresh garlic cloves minced
1 tomato diced
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp agave/honey
2 tsp. lime juice
1/4 c. orange juice
1 cup organic salsa
Mix well and serve on iceberg lettuce wraps or flour tortilla's! I like one of each! Top with fresh green onions, Salsa...... whatever you prefer! Enjoy!
