Trying a recipe I found online for Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Tacos. Put it in this morning, will see how it turns out at lunch. Did the high for 4-5 hours instead of the low for 8 hours. Not ideal, but I don't have anything else to eat for lunch.

Ingredients:
-1 tablespoon chili powder
-2 teaspoons ground cumin
-2 teaspoons dried oregano
-2 teaspoons salt, or more, to taste
-1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-4 pound pork shoulder, excess fat trimmed (I used a 7 lb butt cause its more food and it was the smallest one on sale for $0.99/lb)
-4 cloves garlic, peeled
-2 onions, quartered
-2 oranges, juiced
-2 limes, juiced

Instructions:
-In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Season pork shoulder with spice mixture, rubbing in thoroughly on all sides.
-Place garlic, onions, orange juice, lime juice and seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
-Remove pork shoulder from the slow cooker and shred the meat before returning to the pot with the juices; season with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Cover and keep warm for an additional 30 minutes.
-Preheat oven to broil. Place carnitas onto a baking sheet and broil until crisp and crusted, about 3-4 minutes.
-Serve immediately.

Pretty much the same recipe I used. I found I like adding the chilpolte pepper for a little added heat and smoke flavor.

Don't broil the carnitas, pan fry them in batches with tongs.
