Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Ingredients: 1 (2-3 lb) pork roast 1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce 1 cup salsa 1 onion, chopped 1 tablespoon garlic 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon brown sugar Directions: Place roast in slow cooker sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over the roast. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or HIGH for 5-6 hours (I would recommend the low setting). Remove roast from slow cooker when finished cooking and shred using two forks (it should fall apart pretty easily). Cover a large baking sheet (15x10x1") with foil and spread the shredded meat on top of it. Pour some of the liquid from the slow cooker over the meat (I used about 1 1/2 cups- use as much or as little as you like). Broil meat for about 5 minutes, until it starts to caramelize around the edges (I flipped my meat once during this time). Serve meat on tortillas, in burritos, enchiladas, or even on top of your favorite salad. It makes great leftovers too!
