Crockpot Carnitas

As a busy mom, I quickly learned that the Crockpot is my friend. I can add a few ingredients to the Crockpot in the morning, and by dinner time we have a delicious meal (and easy clean-up afterwards). I adapted this from a recipe that I discovered on the allrecipes.com website, and it quickly became a family favorite.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
2 bay leaves
2 cups chicken broth
2 limes, sliced in wedges
tortillas

Mix together the salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Cut the pork roast into a few large chunks and trim off any large areas of fat. Coat the pork with the spice mixture. Put the bay leaves and chicken broth in the Crockpot and then place the pork on top.

Avocado Salsa

This salsa is a great way to use the tomatoes and peppers from your garden, and is so delicious that I could eat it by the spoonful!

Ingredients
½ cup frozen corn, thawed
1 ½ cups diced tomatoes
½ cup diced red onion
1 small red bell pepper, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced (remove seeds & membranes for less
heat)
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 lime
2 chopped avocados

In a large bowl, mix together the corn, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, jalapenos, cilantro, and salt. Add the juice from the lime. An easy way to do this is to “fork” the lime: cut the lime in half and stick a fork into the cut side of one of the lime halves, then squeeze the lime against the fork as you move the fork in a circle around the inside of the lime (repeat with the other half of the lime).  Gently fold in the avocado and refrigerate until serving.

One thought on “Carnitas with Avocado Salsa

  1. This is awesome! Great timing too! I can’t cook these days because the kitchen makes me sick (pregnancy and all). My husband was just saying that he wants to help out but only knows how to cook from recipes which usually turns into a big, long production and we end up eating late. This is the perfect easy meal for him to make!

    thanks!!!!
