Seasoned pork carnitas perfect with warm tortillas
"That was great! I did skip the rub and the oven. I cooked it on low (my crock pot has "low" "high" and "warm") and it was done in 10 hours. One day I'll actually follow the recipe...I'm sure it'll be much better.Perhaps, due to the fact that I didn't cook it 14 hours, mine was very soupy so I added some kidney beans and at it with a spoon. For my taste, I'll put some more peppers in next time." - vdianellos

This was moist, tender, delicious and easy. I cooked it in crock pot on low 17 hours. Then I spread it in a 9x13 pan & sprayed it lightly with oil then cooked it at 400 degrees in oven for 20 min to crisp edges. Yum. Unfortunately I used a 4.5 lb pork shoulder but did not increase seasonings. Duh! Next time I will increase garlic & hot peppers.

Gotta love that last review...soupy...guess what you do with that liquid, you only have the best broth ever...really, oh well, some people know how to cook and some people dont....

Way Way WAY too soupy and the cumin was over powering. Not good for a filling but maybe add some root vegetables for a soup?

Wasn't as spicy as I expected. So next time I am adding two more serano peppers.
