These carnitas call for a bit of patience, but the reward is gently-spiced, slow-cooked pork that melts in your mouth. Paired with the subtle sweetness of our Maíz Organic Yellow Corn Tortillas, a spritz of zingy lime, and a dollop of salsa, every bite is completely worth the wait. ¡Buen Provecho!

1 packet Siete Pork Carnitas Seasoning

Directions

Step 1

In a slow cooker, add pork and ½ cup of water. Cook on low setting for 6-7 hours.
Step 2

Once the meat is cooked, reserve ½ cup of cooking liquid, and drain the rest.
Step 3

Add carnitas seasoning packet to the meat with ½ cup of cooking liquid. Mix well.
Step 4

For crispy carnitas, spread the seasoned filling over a sheet tray, and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until crispy. You can alternatively crisp up the meat in a cast iron pan.
Step 5

Preheat a separate cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Step 6

Heat each corn tortilla for 10-15 seconds per side. Fill each tortilla with the cooked pork and sprinkle with diced onion and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and Jalapeño Botana Sauce to taste!
