Tender and flavorful, these Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Carnitas are incredibly easy to make. The combination of pork shoulder, zesty salsa verde, and aromatic spices creates a mouthwatering dish perfect for tacos, burritos, salads, or simply served over rice.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into chunks


• 1 cup salsa verde


• 1 onion, chopped


• 4 cloves garlic, minced


• 1 tsp cumin


• 1 tsp oregano


• Salt and pepper to taste


• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

Place pork chunks, salsa verde, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker
