Pork shoulder is simmered in a slow cooker with chiles and spices, then served on tortillas with pico de gallo. This recipe stems from a household that loves carnitas and has perfected it. It makes a lot of food and I have never thrown a piece away. My neighbors, employees, family, and friends love it. A must for social occasions.

Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty. This makes a great filling for tamales, enchiladas, tacos and burritos. This filling is also great combined with your favorite barbecue sauce and served on buns.
