Pork Carnitas Street Tacos

I am Emma and I LOVE tacos!! I seriously can't get enough of tacos, they are so easy!  All you need is a delicious meat and then all you have to do is throw it in a tortilla, top it with some hot sauce and some onion and cilantro and call it good!  And you cook these carnitas in the crockpot so it really cooks itself!  I mean, why wouldn't you make them?!

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

As I am sure you are all well aware of by now, I am a lover of the crockpot!  And once again, it hasn't failed me.  These slow cooked pork carnitas were a first for me, I've done bbq pulled pork a few times but this was my first try with carnitas.  The flavor was oh-so-delicious, and it was fairly simple to make.  Only a little bit of prep is required and then the crockpot does all the magic.  It does take a long time to cook, I had a pretty big pork butt (4.5 lbs) so it took almost 12 hours to cook which required I set an alarm for 5am to get up to turn it on.  But if you prep it and marinate it the night before, it was easy to just dump it all in the crockpot and go back to sleep!
