DIRECTIONS
INGREDIENTS
2 pound boneless pork shoulder
1 carrot, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup dry red wine OR chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 cups red cabbage, thinly shredded
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt and pepper
12 8-inch corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
Combine carrot, onion, and wine in slow cooker. Sprinkle roast on all sides with chili powder, rubbing
it into meat. Season on all sides with salt and add to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until roast is
falling-apart tender, about 6 hours.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred meat into bitesized pieces. Moisten/season with cooking juices to taste. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cabbage and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange 2 tortillas on each serving plate. Fill tortillas with pork,
cabbage mixture, and avocado and serve. (Alternately, arrange
pork, cabbage mixture, and avocado on a platter and let
guests make their own tacos.)
Tasty Tip: For even more flavorful carnitas, brown roast on all
sides in a lightly oiled skillet before sprinkling with chili powder.
