Pork Carnitas

I have a few pork roasts in the freezer and wanted to try a new way to use them.  I settled on pork carnitas because they can be made in the crockpot and most of the recipes are very similar so I figured they couldn't be too hard to make!  This was my first attempt and I kind of winged it with the ingredients based on what I had on hand.  Not bad if I do say so myself. 

5 lb pork roast (I used a shoulder toast)
3 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp garlic powder
1/3 cup tang (just try it)
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves chopped garlic


Mix your dry ingredients and run all over pork.  Place in corckpot and top with onion slices and chopped garlic.  Pour tang over the top and cook on low 7 hours.  Shred pork and cook another hour.


Put pork I'm a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil and cook until crispy edges form on pork.



I served my pork with lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro and a dab of sour cream.
