    Elkészítési Lépések

    1

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks, removing any excess fat. Season the pieces generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano.

    2

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

    3

    Add the garlic cloves, orange juice, lime juice, bay leaves, and water to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

    4

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

    5

    Once the pork is cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Let the liquid reduce while stirring the pork to allow it to crisp up in its own fat.

    6

    Serve the crispy pork carnitas in warm tortillas with your choice of toppings such as diced onions, chopped cilantro, salsa, and lime wedges.
