Made with our Carnitas Slow Cooker Spice, this Pork Carnitas recipe is inspired by the carnitas our Grandma Campos used to make! She’d cook pork in the oven, crisp it in a pan with seasonings from her cupboard, and share it with our family. But, since we like to simplify things for you, we’ve gone ahead and prepared this recipe two ways: with an instant pot (35 minutes) and a slow cooker!
Add pork shoulder to the slow cooker with 1/2 cup of water over low setting for 6-7 hours, or until tender. If using an instant pot, add pork with 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 35 minutes.
Once pork is finished cooking, drain cooking liquid/fat, reserving 1/2 cup for carnitas.
Add reserved fat/stock, and carnitas seasoning to the pot with pork. Mix well.
For crispy carnitas, spread seasoned pork over a sheet tray and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy. Keep an eye on it so it does not burn.
Heat tortillas according to package and garnish carnitas taco with onions, cilantro, and fresh lime.
The fun of making these Loaded Chocolate Churros lies in—aside from the obviously delicious chocolate + churro combo—the toppings! We used a variety of dried fruits and nuts to top ours, but feel free to top these with everything your heart desires. Chip chip, churr’ay!
There’s nothing that can’t be made a little bit better by a hearty casserole. How do we know? Because we’ve seen it in all the movies! We’ve made this Fuego Rice Casserole using our Grain Free Tortilla Chips for a kick of heritage-inspired flavor.
The dips table at our family carne asadas is an array of different flavors! From guacamole and pico de gallo to queso and salsa, we’ve got something for everyone. One dip we especially like to make is this Cilantro Spinach Artichoke Dip. We think you’ll like it too!
