Crockpot Carnitas
Directions

- 2Season it with salt, pepper, and garlic.
- 3Sear it in a little bit of oil on both sides.
- 4Pop it into your crock pot with some chicken broth, orange juice, lime juice, and minced garlic.
- 5Add one can of diced green chilies, the seasonings listed below, and a chopped onion.
- 6Put on that lid and let it cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
- 7Once you can stick a pair of tongs in there and shred that as easily as your hopes and dreams, you're ready to make some tacos.
- 8Get a big pan over medium heat and add in a little bit of that pork so it can crisp up.
- 9Dip your tortilla into those juices and fry it on both sides so it's nice and crispy.
- 10Add a little pile of Chihuahua cheese to each taco, smash them down and repeat this process until you run out of tortillas, meat, patience, or all three.
- 11Drain off any extra grease on a paper towel.
- 12Top them with a little bit of nature's soap and dinner is ready to go.
