Carnitas

Carnitas are very simple to make, and there are a number of ways to make them, but the easiest way possible is in your slow cooker.

Throw in a pork tenderloin or lots of the country ribs into the slow cooker.

Add a fresh, chopped up jalapeno or two, a chopped onion (you can do big loopy rings) cumin, chili powder (I like the green) lime juice and some beer, but not enough that you are boiling your meat.

It should be done in 6-8 on low.

Next, shred your pork and then fry it in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. If you are adding it to green chili, you don't need to make it that crispy.

Or you can serve it with green chili sauce, refried beans, cilantro, and pico de gallo.
