Chipotle Pork Carnitas
What you need
Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork shoulder (boneless)
- 1 ounce taco seasoning (28g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 6 large bay leaves
In the correct order
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140C/275F. Rub the taco seasoning all over the pork, ensuring all the exterior is coated.
- Add the oil to a large skillet or deep pot and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook on all sides until brown.
- Transfer the seared pork to a large baking dish. Top with the onion, garlic, salsa, and bay leaves, and drizzle the broth.
- Cover the baking dish with tin foil and cook for 6 hours.
- Remove from the oven, discard the bay leaves, and let it sit for 5 minutes before shredding. For extra crispy bits, add the shredded pork back to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes.
