So, are you ready to make your taste buds scream with joy? Let’s get cooking!

Preparation:

1. Grab a pork shoulder, the bigger, the better! Season it generously with a mouthwatering blend of chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, and a touch of salt. Rub it in and let those spices do their magic.

2. In a large Dutch oven or slow cooker, nestle the seasoned pork shoulder. Now, let’s add some juicy orange juice to the party. It’ll give the carnitas a burst of citrusy goodness. Throw in some chopped onion and garlic, the perfect aromatic duo. Last but not least, a few sliced jalapeños will add a spicy kick. Don’t be afraid to adjust the spice level to suit your taste.

3. Pour a cup of chicken broth over the pork, ensuring it’s submerged in all that flavorful liquid. Cover and let it slow-cook on low for 6-8 hours. If you’re feeling impatient, you can cook it on high for 4-6 hours. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get too dry.

Cooking:

1. Once the pork is fall-apart tender, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Discard any excess liquid, we’re going for crispy, not soggy.

2. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. It should practically fall apart in your hands.

3.Time to add that crispy touch! Broil the shredded pork for 5-7 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and just begging to be devoured. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

4. Now, here comes the magic potion. Transfer the shredded pork back to the slow cooker and pour in about a cup of the reserved cooking liquid. It’ll keep the carnitas moist and bursting with flavor.

5.Serve this flavor bomb on warm tortillas, in burritos, or however your hungry heart desires. Don’t forget to add your favorite toppings for the ultimate carnitas feast. Enjoy!
