My friend Vicky Kirk asked for a recipe for pork carnitas and I am here to please.

Carnitas are one of my favorite foods on the planet. Tender, juicy pieces of pork with a crispy outside that are perfect for tacos with all of your favorite taco toppings. Avocado and carnitas go very well together.

There are a million recipes for carnitas. Just Google “carnitas recipe” and you’ll find pages of them. They are all different but some ingredients are always there: pork, of course, onion, bay leaves and orange juice and the spent halves after juicing.

I found one I like and this is the one I normally use. I am lazy so I adapted it for the crockpot so you can turn it on in the morning and will only have a couple of things to do when you get home from work.
