Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

This post was updated on 9/20/2024.

Pork carnitas are one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. You will find fewer recipes that have a simpler prep with the end result being more delicious than you can imagine. The pork is so flavorful and stays nice and tender from being cooked low and slow and then gets finished by broiling the meat in the oven after it’s been shredded to create crispy edges on the meat that are irresistible. These slow cooker pork carnitas will quickly become one of your favorite weeknight dinners.

Healthy Chipotle Turkey and Spiced Potato Tacos: My Diary of Us

Healthy Chipotle Turkey and Spiced Potato Tacos

I could eat Mexican food every day of the week...I kid you not.  But I obviously can't do that because the result would be me not fitting into my jeans and nobody wants that, especially me.  And although cooking Mexican at home is never the same, but it can be done and it can be delicious (and healthy).  It's a great way to get your fix without the high calorie margarita (which is kind of a requirement if you are at a restaurant) and without two baskets of chips being inhaled before your entrée arrives.  My healthy chipotle turkey and spiced potato tacos get you all that flavor without the I had too much sodium, swollen fingers the next morning.

Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

This meal is perfect for any weeknight because it can be ready in thirty minutes and is a relatively inexpensive meal too.  I doubt any family members will turn their nose up at taco night, and the leftovers are quite possibly better the next day.
