When you're around all day, but don't feel like actually cooking for Taco Tuesday; these pork carnitas are the move. Slow-cooked in the oven (or on the grill) on low for 8hours.
Ingredients:
Serves: 4-5
3lbs pork shoulder (picnic or Boston butt) bone-in or out
The Ultimate Taco Tuesday Seasoning
3 TBS Minced Garlic
1 Onion roughly chopped
3Cup Orange Juice
3 limes (juice from 3 limes)
3 Chipotle peppers in adobo
4 TBS adobo sauce from chipotles in adobo sauce
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 275
1. Liberally season pork with Kosher salt and pepper.
2. Cover the entire pork (skin and sides) with The Ultimate Taco Tuesday Seasoning
3. In a deep roasting pan place the pork skin side up. Cook for 4 hours until a nice color forms on the skin.
4. At 3.5 hours make the braising liquid by combing orange juice, lime juice, onions, garlic, chipotles, and adobo in a bowl.
5. Remove pan from oven and pour braising liquid over pigskin. Cover with tinfoil and put back in the oven for another 4 hours until the internal temp of the pork is 190 degrees.
