Oh boy, you guys are gonna love these carnitas! I say a couple of times in the video to cook the meat overnight, but just to clarify you simply need to cook 8-10 hours. That doesn't have to be overnight, that's just how I normally do it. ;) You could start this in the morning and have it for dinner! Who else is excited for Cinco de Mayo?! xo - Lisa
Heyy Downshiftology. I know that this comment is irrelevant but i'm in need of an answer 😆. Can i use a blender of 1500W to make a nut butter? :)
Hi! Your recipe looks absolutely amazing! I am Mexican and the process I know to making carnitas is very different, yet I would totally try yours which seems a little more on the healthier side. I love so many of your recipes. Great channel!💛
Thanks so much Angelica :) My goal is to always bring a healthy and easy homemade version of recipes - while still trying to keep its authenticity. Can't wait for you to try this version!
Downshiftology i’m Mexican too, i and loved your version. To me is so closed to Mexican versión and healthy for Family. Thanks so much.
Please watch 'What the health' documentary really helped open my eyes
I’ve made this exact recipe a few times now. 10+ hours low and slow overnight. 1tsp of salt is not enough for a piece of meat this size. For more flavor, use 2tsp or even a bit more. For even more flavor, I added a bit more of all the spices and also used lime juice in addition to the orange. Excellent!

I’m literally in the middle of cooking 18 lbs or pork butt with this recipe. Ten hours in the slow cooker and the meat was absolutely tender and falling apart. I used 2 tsp salt and it’s still a bit bland (and I generally like low-sodium food). This is a great recipe, the meat is very mild, not at all spicy.
Made this last night. The best ever! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. Every single recipe that I have tried from your collection has been amazing and delicious.
How could anyone down thumb this lovely person trying to share her great ideas with us?
Jealousy 😒
Jealous
I did it just now to piss you off
Found the simp
Why are comments like these on pretty much every popular video? Thumbs down are from haters and people who don’t like the content. We don’t live in a perfect world and I’m sure you know the answer to your own question.
My family wants me to make this for Easter this year!! It looks so delicious!! Thank you for such a great idea and for the wonderful instructions too!!
Made this three times now and the family absolutely loves it. Ty!
Wow, amazing! Glad you've enjoyed this recipe so much 😊
As a Mexican, I’m proud! Beautiful and delicious as always, keep up the good work!
Aw, thanks so much! I'm so happy you love it. :)
I just made this recipe. It came out so good! The only thing I did differently is I put it in an instant pot instead of a slow cooker. 45 minutes on high pressure. I will definitely make this again!
Thank you for this recipe. I made it Sunday 4/26 and shared some with my neighbor, who enjoys, Southwest cuisine. I've never had Carnitas before. I have never heard of them. All of us agree that this is most delicious!
Wonderful! So glad you all enjoyed this carnitas recipe 😊
Made this recipe and it was so delicious! So flavorful. Can't wait to make this again. So easy and my family devoured it!
I´m from Mexico and these carnitas tacos look like the real ones!!! thanks for sharing Lisa, can´t wait to cook them =)
Can't wait for you to try these 😊
I made this meal last night and omg!!! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU! The meal was amazing and the kids devoured the left overs today!!! This meal is going into the rotation!!!
Awesome! Happy to hear everyone in the family enjoyed this recipe :)
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing, Lisa 😉
Fabulous recipe... thanks Lisa!
This receipe is a keeper, just prepared it and my family love it. Thank yoy
Wonderful recipe! I let the meat broil for 5-10 minutes, removed it from the oven to stir it up, then broiled again for an additional 5-10 min, making sure I watched it very carefully. I loved loved loved the extra crispness! I also squeezed the juice of 1/2 of a great lime over the carnita meat. It was sooo delicious as is already but I had to make it extra crispy. Thank you so very much Lisa for the excellent recipe!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! The oven really does wonders when it comes to giving the carnitas its crispy edges :)
Orange juice is a KEY ingredient for me when I am cooking Mexican food!! Its adds a perfect citrus flavor little a little hint of sweetness to go well with the salts and spices!! Perfect!!
It's definitely an essential for a depth of flavor 😊
Can’t wait to make this. As a Mexican in London your recipes are easier to follow because the ingredients are easier to get here! Thank you! Xx
Hope you enjoy this super tender and flavorful carnitas! 😊
Good job. I am Mexican and this is a good recipe. You do a great job. Love your videos!!! Keep them coming. Thank you
So glad to hear that Veronica! You'll have to take a peek at my website for tons more Mexican recipes coming your way this week :)
I don’t have a slow cooker so I did in my pressure pan and I loved it! Another great recipe! Thank you!
These carnitas are incredible!🤯Thank you for the recipe!
In true ME fashion, I always try to make a recipe my own by changing at least 3 things. These are the things I changed the second go-round:
1. Instead of pepper, I used 2 tablespoons of black peppercorn for more spice.
2. Instead of orange juice, I used 6 sliced kumquats for a more potent citrus 🍊 flavor.
3. Instead of the jalapeño pepper, I used a sliced pablano chili 🌶
It came out BEAUTIFULLY!!! But the baseline for this recipe will always be remembered as coming from you. I would never have thought to make carnitas in a slow cooker! I always made them in the oven with my braising pan. Thank you for the new route. I’m forever grateful!🤗
This recipe was divine, thank you very much!!❤️😋
Such a good recipe! This tastes just like what I get at my local Spanish grocery store.
So wonderful, thank you so much for this video, very easy to follow , can't wait to try my "now slow cooking pork roast" 😋
I love everything you cook Lisa 💚, and as a mexican, I gotta say you did it GREAT 👌🏻, I usually add some of the zest of the orange and some lemon juice. Keep it up, you are awesome and take care 🙏
I'm so glad to hear that I'm on par with the authenticity of these recipes :) I will definitely add the zest next time as well. Hope you're staying safe and healthy!
so much flavour! this would be perfect for taco tuesday!
Yes, most definitely! The perfect taco tuesday meal.
I can't wait to try this, Lisa. It looks amazing.
Lots of love from Kenya 🇰🇪
You're going to love this way of cooking pork! Enjoy 😊
I also braised it a bit before putting it in the crockpot. Delicious!!
Mexican food always looks super delicious!♥
That's why it's my favorite. ;)
One million thanks for the work you do. I have only been following your meal plans for a week and already have one thousand times more energy than I have ever had since my hypothyroidism diagnosis. My doctor kept telling me my thyroid hormone was fine with my meds, but I still felt tired, lifeless, and lethargic. You make everything so easy and fun, even my husband is involved. He has multiple autoimmune diseases and has already noticed a change in the joint pain he was feeling. You are a treasure and thanks again for making everything so easy and organized.
I'm so glad to hear my meal prep videos have been playing a positive role in your life so far when it comes to healthy eating 😊
Love this recipe
I have to say I’m an extreme amateur cook. Your recipes are simple and delicious and actually empower me to be better with cooking. Keep up the great work and thanks so much for sharing!
That's so great to hear! In my opinion, anyone can cook 😉
Hi, I'm Mexican and I'm definitely trying this yummy recipe... thanks for great and different ideas!!
drool! i can't wait to try this! saving for when i get a slow cooker :) thank you!!
The slow cooker is gonna become your new best friend! 😊

Your recipes are winners as always! 😁❤️
Hahah I always nibble as I'm cooking!
Yummy thanks for sharing cant wait to try this
This looks so delicious. Love how you made it.

You're on a roll with recipes! Glad you're loving everything so far 😊
Downshiftology update: husband is obsessed with the puller pork and wants it often! It truly made cooking pork less scary for me to use the slow cooker. I have never cooked pork before this recipe!
Perfect dish
I’m making this right now and my house smells sooooo good! I’m going to use some of the meat for tacos, and some for your stuffed poblano pepper recipe. Cant wait to eat it!!
Edited to add: OMG, soooo good! Thank you for another delicious recipe! Your channel is my favorite!
As a mexican myself i was always scared of making carnitas 😅
But daang you made it on a slow cooker!!!! What better for a working mom like me than come home to dinner already made 🥰🥰
I love your videos thank you soo much 😊😊
The results are so tender and delicious! Hope you and your family enjoy this recipe 😊
Hello, I made these with boneless pork ribs not sure if I am supposed to put those in a slow cooker but they came out good. I added the zest of the orange too. I like mine with sauce. Thank you for the recipe.
Trying out this recipe for the first football Sunday of the year. Can’t wait til it’s ready!
It turned out great, Excellent call to put them in a broiler to crisp them up. Makes a huge difference. I’m thinking something like a creamy chipotle sauce might go good with this too. This recipe is in my GoTo list from now on. Super easy and tasty.
I can't wait to make this! Yummy! 😋
I think you're really gonna love this one Susie!
Oh Yummy!! 😋 thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy 😋
Omg my mouth is watering 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮!
Thanks so much I’ve been meaning to make carnitas 👍🏻

This recipe was AMAZING 😍!!! Keep going!
Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for tons more coming 😊
@@Downshiftology Especially the fajitas. I can't describe how good they are! You are one of the best cooks i've ever seen and that means a lot!
Cinco de Mayo is my favorite too! I love that you are doing some Mexican dishes, keep 'm coming please 😋
Mexican food is probably one of my favorites! Stay tuned for tons more Mexican recipes coming your way this week on my website :)
Generally when I see a recipe for pulled pork, I don't even explore it because that dish is always smothered in barbecue sauce, blech, but I've never had one of your recipes fail me, so I made it the other day.
WOW!! Talk about delicious and addicting! I followed the recipe exactly and have enjoyed it over and over again.
So, as with all my worthy, repeatable and treasured recipes, your carnitas recipe will be laminated and placed in one of my recipe binders for posterity. Whoever ends up with these binders will be in for a big treat!
Thanks for all the great cooking!!!
Thrilled to hear you enjoyed this recipe Marilyn! 😊

This is my go to recipe for carnitas and tonight I'm making carnitas tacos but with a twist. I'm going to soak my tortillas in the leftover liquid and then fill them before grilling them on my George foreman grill.
Love that idea with the tortillas! Can't wait to hear how it turns out Courtney 😊
Looks good flavoured
This was a lovely meal. Thanks

Perfect! It's always great to whip up carnitas for a large family gathering. Hope you enjoy!
Very nice
living in san diego i can honestly say this looks so authentic from what we find over here, the other videos on youtube where it’s cubed is not really how it goes.
Glad to hear that! I always try to make my recipes as authentic as possible 😊
Downshiftology of course 😊
