Love this recipe! Always a hit whenever I make it

I think I’m on my 4th time making this recipe! It’s great for weekends with family by the pool. Often double the recipe. Can’t go wrong for sandwiches, nachos, tacos etc!

Absolutely delicious!

Love this recipe. I'm going to be using this a lot from now on. Especially when catering for big crowds and parties. I used it with corn tortillas.

The pork carnitas were amazing & will be the recipe I use from now on. The flavors blended together so well & they turned out pull apart tender. The last step under the broiler really took them to the next level with the added crispness. I made homemade tortillas & topped the carnitas with freshly made coleslaw, which made a great combo! Highly recommend this recipe.

Simple and delicious. The picture shows it at the end of the crockpot stage. I’m hooked!

This is delicious. I had multiple people ask me for the recipe and I had never made it before (1st try success!). The orange juice surprised me but it really does give it a great flavor. I will be making this again for a party.

Not enough liquid to make the meat fall off bone. But ok flavor, I added cilantro to the juices at end

My family loves this recipe. We have it as carnitas and then put bbq sauce on it as pulled pork sandwiches for another meal. So so good!!!

It’s a bit bland, I added 4 heaping table spoons of diced jalapeños for last 2 hours. Helped it tremendously.

kind of bland, I would add more seasoning.

It came out so tender. My kids loved it. Literally cooked in high for four hours.😀

This was delicious! Throwing it in the broiler at the end is really brilliant and gives it the crispiness of an open flame. I threw in a packet of taco seasoning for the last 30 min in the slow cooker and it really added a layer of flavor with the sweetness of the citrus. I tossed with cilantro, lime, and a little reserved juice from the slow cooker after taking it out of the broiler. I felt like I was eating yummy street tacos!
My only issue with this dish is that trying to shred hot pork shoulder is labor intensive and time consuming. Totally worth it but not something I'm going to make often because of it.

easy and delicious....what more could you ask

Supper yummy!! The flavor of spices mixed with juices of lime and oranges is delish! Not spicy at all so perfect for kids to likewise add cayenne pepper for spicy flavor

Super easy, doesn’t require my attention, and wonderfully delicious. What’s not to love? Make restaurant-quality tacos at home this way.

Yummly User 5 years ago
I will make it again

Super delicious ... A new favorite!

Delicious with some cilantro lime rice!

Was amazing... upped the seasonings and added a can of fire roasted (mild) chiles after shredding. Sprayed with coconut oil before broiling and upped the broiling time for real crispness (don’t skip this step!).

This was delicious and super easy to make. It had the right amount of kick to it without being overly spicy. I’ll be making this again for sure.

Love this super simple but amazing recipe!

Very easy recipe came out delicious and pretty much shredded in the pot while cooking. I didn’t have any oranges or lime so I used lemon and habanero jelly.

Yummly User 6 years ago
Made this twice now. absolutely delicious.

Amazing! So good. My husband gave it a 10.

This was very good. The only modification I made is I put it in a cast-iron skillet to brown it rather than the oven. Are used a little butter and olive oil, which made it not as healthy, but boy was it delicious.
