Carnitas (Mexican Pork) My Way (Crock Pot)

• 2 -3 lbs pork roast
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 12 teaspoon cumin
• 12 teaspoon seasoning salt (can you garlic and or onion salt instead)
• 12 teaspoon cilantro or 12 teaspoon coriander
• 1 cup water (broth works fine too)
• flour tortilla
• shredded cheese
• shredded lettuce
• avocado
• tomatoes
• salsa
• sour cream
• rice and beans

1. Mix all of the spices together and sprinkle most on the roast, reserving about 1 tsp.
2. Put the roast and water/broth in a crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.
3. Now you can do 2 things here: remove the roast, drain the liquid, put the roast back in the crock, shred it with the remaining seasonings and about 1/2 cup of water and stir OR.
4. remove a little of the liquid from the pot and shred the meat (with forks) in the remaining liquid and taste and season if necessary.
5. *if I use a roast with a good amount of fat I usually drain it to drain off some of that grease, if it's lean then I use the liquid it cooked in.
6. Serve it up!
7. It makes great burritos (get the big tortillas!)
8. with all the fixins- including the beans and rice.
