Slow-Cooker Pork Carnitas for Tacos

Pork carnitas is a taco stand favorite that's easy to recreate at home - all you need is a slow cooker and some spices for juicy, tender meat that's begging to be stuffed in a tortilla. Give it a try with this simple recipe: Cut 2 1/2-3 lb pork shoulder or butt into large chunks, then place in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Sprinkle mixture over meat in cooker. Squeeze over juice from one lime, then toss everything to coat all over. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or 8-9 hours on low. When tender, shred the meat with a fork. If crispier carnita texture is desired, cook meat in skillet with some of the juices until browned.
