Pork Carnitas

Mexican is always a fan favorite in our house. Tonight I made slow cooked pork carnitas. Rooms and I have been back on track with the 21 day fix diet (post the holidays). If you don't know what the 21 day fix is.. it's totally worth a google! It's basically a portion control diet but this dinner totally qualifies and is good for left overs. I used pork loin instead of pork shoulder as it is a less fatty piece of meat but it's just as flavorful for the tacos. The recipe below is enough for about 4 people

For the 21 day fix version of this recipe fill up the red container with the carnitas meat and use others for toppings, its great to serve over shredded lettuce! 

What You'll Need:
- 1 1/2 pound pork loin
- 1 bay lead
- 1 1/4 cup of water
- For the rub you will need 1 package of mexican taco seasoning
- 1 lime

What To Do:
Rub the meat with the mexican taco seasoning as well as salt and pepper and place it in the slow cooker. Add the bay lead and water and cook on low for 5:30-6 hours. When it is done you should pull apart the pork easily so you can shred it.

Shred all the pork and place it back in the slow cooker with the juices and add the juice of 1 lime. Serve up with your favorite taco ingredients.
