A flavorful and easy-to-make recipe for tender and crispy pork carnitas.
Place the chopped onion and minced garlic in the crockpot.
Chopping the onion finely will help it blend better with the pork.
Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water, then mix in the adobo seasoning and chipotle chiles. Pour this mixture into the crockpot.
Ensure the bouillon cubes are fully dissolved for an even flavor.
Season the pork cubes with salt and oregano, then add them to the crockpot.
Coating the pork evenly with the seasoning ensures a consistent taste.
Cook on low heat for 6 hours until the pork is tender.
Avoid opening the crockpot during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Transfer the cooked pork to a baking sheet, pour orange juice over it, and sprinkle with orange zest. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to crisp the edges.
Stirring occasionally ensures even crisping.
Serve the pork carnitas with your choice of sides or as a filling for tacos.
Warm tortillas make an excellent accompaniment.
