Thank you so much! I've made this recipe 3 times now. It is fantastic! I serve it in a bowl with Cauliflower rice, spinach, and garden salsa. Will be made and enjoyed many more times!
I recommend seasoning the meat and then searing it in a hot skillet on all sides prior to putting it in the pot. It adds another dimension of flavor that really makes this dish yummy!!
I have been using crock pot pulled pork for my tacos and burritos for years but I have been missing the crisping of the meat part, i'm so glad I watched this today. Ill be browning the meat from now on.
As a Latina, I can actually see myself making this. This video is one of the best tutorials for those that don't have the luxury or time or the the original Mexican outdoor Copper bowl and beer. Great crock pot method. Suggestion though add the coke! ;)
Watch Jauja cocina mexicana she makes the best Mexican dishes and simple as well ! I dont like this one. The picture looked good but that's not called carnitas. But it does look tasty!
Nice video. As a Mexican, I was looking for a recipe to cook tonight before tomorrow's college football games to serve the family on a quiet football Saturday afternoon. . Thanks for the great ideas!
Next time leave the Orange's inside the crock pot. It will mesh the flavors as it boils....you will not regret it. A half can of Pepsi also adds caramelized look. Just a suggestion but everything else you did looks yummy. Great video
@@solitaaa13 yes, add it directly to the crock pot. Mexican Coca Cola works great too if you can find it. It is made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. It gives it a great flavor.
This looks really good! I am going to try it. I also have friends that do not eat pork. Does anyone think this would work with a whole chicken or chicken parts? Thanks.
Thank good goodness, I found your channel! Surfing youtube for videos can be never-ending. You saved me. I cant wait to try this today. My children are going to love this. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I don’t eat pork much but I had a pork shoulder in my freezer and decided it was time to experiment and hope for the best. I saw your video and made it today. Wow! It is so delicious! My picky eater ate 4 generously stuffed carnitas tacos and I’m so pleased with the flavor. I will no longer be afraid of cooking pork! Thanks again! Sandra
First of all, Thanks for posting your recipe. I would only like to mention that in Mexico, cummin is almost never used and if its ever used is in very small quantities. Of course, anyone can cook a meal according to his or her own preferences. Anyhow, I will try that recipe sometime cause it´s genius!
I was looking for a different way to cook my pork shoulder other than the "Spanish/Pernil" way. I found this one and it sounded good and easy with a slow cooker. Wow! it was Wonderful and my family loved it. Only thing is my hubby loves the fat part really crisp (he's Spanish) so I sliced it off the meat, I seared the meat and the fat part all around and I followed your recipe except for the orange since I didn't have one, just used lemon and a little orange juice from the carton, I figure its close enough. Once done I took the fat skin off and put it in the oven for 1/2 hour at 400 degrees till it crisp and the rest is history. My hubby even helped with the dishes. That was my bonus! Thank you Ms. Rivas!! 😁😁😁
The best soda to use for your glaze is Mexican Coca Cola because, coke from Mexico is made with real sugar cane unlike American coke is made with syrup just so you guys didn't know.
Leaving the fat cap is not healthier. Just so you know. If you remove the fat cap before cooking it, it will slightly healthier that pork shoulder already has enough fat as it is.
made this today for Sunday morning Breakfast carnitas very good I had a 9 lb pork shoulder so I put it on high at 11:00 pm Saturday night by the time I woke up at 7 am Sunday morning it was done so good everyone loved it .Thank you for the video
@Victor R. After 8 hours in a slow cooker, most of the fat has been rendered and it is in the liquid. That what is on in the meat is mostly collagen. If you are not afraid of fat then you can reduce that liquod and make divine gravy/sauce.
@@lindaolson5798, I would say that everything Jen Rivas did, but put in the fridge overnight covered, or preferably in a very large zipper bag, or roasting type bag with air squeezed out and tied shut.
This is what I was looking for! I bought about 3lbs. of carnitas, but I really don't want to deep fry them. I'll definitely try this out! Thank you Jen! ❤
Looks good maam, next time eliminate the pepper cumin, just use salt, about 3 oranges , three onions whole , about 3 garlic heads , 4 bay leaves..4 hrs to go, throw in a 12oz coke. That will give it the brown, sugary color. ..this way it makes it more legit!! Saludos ....
Omg!! I made this today for dinner and my family absolutely LOVED IT so much so it's all gone 😂. Esp cause it was my first time making pot roast and first time ever using a crock pot😍..Thank you thank you so so much. I can't wait to make dinner like this more often. Even my 3yr old picky lil girl loved dinner tonight 💞😍
The Queen of My Home Auntie Nina Lopez Hannibal Lecter: I see. I myself cannot. You use Evian skin cream, and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today. Joking, I did the same thing.
I love this method ,great job. Three hour is probly the longest I've done a roast but a crock pot is the way to go.leave it in longer since it's slow and low.🙏👍
Thanks, always looking for another interesting way to cook a hunk of pork. I’ve made it in the slow cooker before, but never tried frying it up and getting some crunch on it. Can’t wait to try this on a taco!
This is a great recipe. But instead of grilling the meat you can add a can of rc cola about an hour before done in the crock pot. The sugars from the soda glazes and Brown's the meat perfectly 👐
@@jen_rivas you just miss the BJJ beatings you gave me ... bully! Still training. I will try your recipe soon. Hope you guys are well and still training.
This looks delicious thank you very much I bought a pork shoulder and was contemplating how I would fix it and this looks great so I will try it thank you so much God bless
Awesome..I put the fruit in the crock on bottom tho..after squeezing juice over roast..so much more tender.meat absorbs the nutrients out of the Rhine. Yummmmyyyy
I've made this multiple times, and it was great. The only difference is the quality of the ingredients I have available - but always really good. Great job! Oh, and it is easily Keto friendly if you avoid regular tortillas and use a healthy base for serving.
I make mine same way but i throw a cinnamon stick in the crock and a about a 1/2 teaspoon of clove and a little coriander and bay leaf. serve it with pickled red onions and cotija cheese try it out.
Tried your recipe tonight, minor variations based on what I had on hand. It's not the flavor I'm looking for (which has mysterious ingredients, alas!) but my husband and I both enjoyed your recipe very much. We seared the meat in the juices it was sitting in and it really emphasized the seasonings you used. Thank you for the video. :)
Looks good but if you add the whole orange it taste way better. I add dry peppermint,2 bay leafs. When done spread on cookie sheet and broil for 5 to 10 minutes. Served with fresh corn tortillas, pico de gallo and a fresh salsa

Wow that combination sounds fantastic. I’ll be trying with cauliflower rice as well!! Thanks for the tip!👍
I made this tonight and my child said “that was bomb” so consider that high praise. Thanks for the recipe

Robert Plues same thing was going through my head too
Best way in my opinion.
Same here
absolutely! I always sear my chuck roast for my Mississippi pot roast then let my crockpot do it's thing..ohh boy soo good!
For this style of carnitas it is not necessary since you are going to sear/caramelize it after cooking
Girlfriend, you would make my Mexican mama proud! You need to have your own show!
I have been using crock pot pulled pork for my tacos and burritos for years but I have been missing the crisping of the meat part, i'm so glad I watched this today. Ill be browning the meat from now on.

Pulled pork crock
Desert Waters how much coke would it be for this amount of pork?
Watch Jauja cocina mexicana she makes the best Mexican dishes and simple as well ! I dont like this one. The picture looked good but that's not called carnitas. But it does look tasty!
Eboli Buzzfield what does race have to do with anything?
You could add a beer it has to be dark, here in the south of México they add it!!!
There's no way I would get ANY sleep with that amazing aroma traveling through my house!
A hidden gem! I love this recipe.
Nice video. As a Mexican, I was looking for a recipe to cook tonight before tomorrow's college football games to serve the family on a quiet football Saturday afternoon. . Thanks for the great ideas!
Absolutely delicious....Use the entire orange....skin n all for an amazing flavor
Next time leave the Orange's inside the crock pot. It will mesh the flavors as it boils....you will not regret it. A half can of Pepsi also adds caramelized look. Just a suggestion but everything else you did looks yummy. Great video
We can add the cola in the rock pot?
@@solitaaa13 yes, add it directly to the crock pot. Mexican Coca Cola works great too if you can find it. It is made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. It gives it a great flavor.
0524cami ooohhhh great idea I can’t wait to make this and these twists! Thank you so much
This looks really good! I am going to try it. I also have friends that do not eat pork. Does anyone think this would work with a whole chicken or chicken parts? Thanks.
I prefer zesting the orange. The white part of the orange between the pulp and orange part of the peel is bitter and affects the flavors.
Thank good goodness, I found your channel! Surfing youtube for videos can be never-ending. You saved me. I cant wait to try this today. My children are going to love this. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you Sandra!! I'm so glad you all enjoyed it
I like that you let the meat’s nature juices build the crust vs putting it in oil. ❤️
Yep, the best Carnitas tacos could easily be done at home! Yummy 😋 all you need is the “Pico de Gallo! And green Sauce. Sabroso.
First of all, Thanks for posting your recipe. I would only like to mention that in Mexico, cummin is almost never used and if its ever used is in very small quantities.

O boy o boy. I'm happy to hear that I can forget the cumin!
Depends what part of Mexico
Loved the way it turned out, I’m keeping the recipe. 😋
OMG, I can't wait to try this! The only changes I would make are to zest the orange and use ALL of the garlic! LOL! Great vid . . .

True
Did you reas the tittle???? HEALTHIER dahhhh
@LARAMS rock I don't get it. Where in this recipe did you see her using any kind of coca cola?
Leaving the fat cap is not healthier. Just so you know. If you remove the fat cap before cooking it, it will slightly healthier that pork shoulder already has enough fat as it is.
Noe Toledo thanks!
super delicious recipe. Im always interested in healthier versions and this one just works.

The "fat cap" you mentioned is the skin. You should've crisped that up, so DELICIOUS!
I think the word healthy stopped her from serving up the fat.
Americans are such punks. The chicharrón is the best part.
Victor R. They rat too much shit?

GREAT recipe demo
ThankYou!!
Smelling this goodness cooking away in my kitchen. Thankyou for the recipe from Australia 😎
Yes love this recipe very very keto friendly
i put a good layer of sliced white onions in the pot first. it acts as a rack between the roast and the pot.
Very nice! thanks for tip on the skillet browning!
Just the recipe I was looking for....I'll try it this weekend. I have 10 friends coming over and was looking for a crockpot carnita recipe. Thank you!
It gets a better flavor when you marinate it the night before 😉
What do you put in the marinade?
@@lindaolson5798, I would say that everything Jen Rivas did, but put in the fridge overnight covered, or preferably in a very large zipper bag, or roasting type bag with air squeezed out and tied shut.
@@nrandrade566 would you just then put it in the crockpot or add additional seasoning before the cooking process

try it out.
Jay Smith u want a cookie?
that sounds great but so different
from the Mexican recipes of "carnitas"
Just made this today & I want to thank you. This is now mines & my family’s favorite recipe.
SO EASY AND SIMPLE !
This looks good. Gonna try it this week. Think I’ll brown the meat first, use Mexican oregano,and Mexican cola,and leave orange in the pot
Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Love your recipe! Can't wait to try it out.
Thanks for the tips!...gonna try it soon...but tonight I might try it with my left over roast beef!
This was awesome!! Thx for the video!!!
Trying this for sure!

muy buena receta
that is the right way

Ooooommmmmggggg....my mouth is watering!!!
looks good. I do mine in my electric roaster works amazing too.
Love this method way better n healthier then deep fried in lard with coke the traditional Mexican way.

I love the video looks so good but was hoping you show how you prepare the tacos !? The best part!??
Browing or searing the chunk of meat on a skillet before putting in crock pot saves. Alot of time
I made this and it’s fenomenal
Nice work JenRivas❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Gotta love metal tongs in a non stick skillet
great taco filling !
I finished the meat on a griddle in my grill. Added a wonderful light smokey flavor
Fantastic!!
Excellent video! Thank you for the good instructions. It looks amazing.
Looks good but if you add the whole orange it taste way better. I add dry peppermint,2 bay leafs. When done spread on cookie sheet and broil for 5 to 10 minutes. Served with fresh corn tortillas, pico de gallo and a fresh salsa
