• Add the pork cubes into a large dutch oven over medium high heat and cook until brown meat creating a sear on the outside.
• Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, add minced garlic and stir to combine, cooking for 1 minute.
• Pour in the green chile sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover.
• Cook for about 2 hours until the carnitas are fork tender, checking often. If more liquid is needed, add a little chicken broth.
• After carnitas are tender, add the green chiles and raise the heat and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. It should resemble a very thick stew at this point.
• Serve the green chile pork carnitas on warmed tortillas, garnishing with cheese, jalapeños or cilantro, your preference.

PORK CARNITAS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt, then arrange the pork in the Dutch oven. Cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue to simmer until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Transfer the pork shoulder to a large baking sheet, reserving the cooking liquid. Drizzle with a small amount of the reserved cooking liquid and lightly season with salt.
• Bake the pork in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Drizzle more of the cooking liquid on the meat every 10 minutes, and use two forks to shred the meat as it browns.

GREEN CHILE PORK CARNITAS TACOS

Steps:

• Place roast in the slow cooker and rub with seasoning. Sprinkle with salt as well! Chop onion and peppers (removing seeds/ribs of peppers for less heat) and sprinkle those over the roast as well.
• pour the cans (un-drained) of green chilies, salsa verde, & lime juice into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-9 hours (or high for about 5 - but low is preferred).
• Once pork is "fall-apart-tender" to the touch of a fork, shred with a fork. If you prefer less liquid, use a spoon to discard any excess - But I recommend letting the shredded pulled pork soak in the delicious juices until you're ready to serve on a taco shell!
• Serve as tacos with a garnish of cotija cheese, cilantro, avocado, pickled jalapenos, and a bit of diablo sauce (or toppings of your choice of course)! You can also serve as taco bowls, sliders, stuffed peppers/potatoes, so many options for this delicious pork!

PORK CARNITAS CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Remove excess fat from carnitas. Cut the pork into bite sized pieces.
• 2. Chop onion. Slice jalapeno in half then slice the whole pepper. Slice the garlic pods very thin. Chop the tomatoes.
• 3. Put all of the ingredients, except the salt, into a slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours. Cook on low for 5 hours. This will be rather hot with spices and peppers. I like my chili salty and add at the end, but exclude the salt at your preference.

PORK CARNITAS

Steps:

• Set a multi-cooker to the Saute setting and add the oil.
• Sprinkle the cubed pork generously with salt and pepper. Sear the pork in batches on all sides until well browned. Remove to a plate, add the onions and poblanos and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano, cumin, chile powder and garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute.
• Add the lemon-lime soda and orange zest and juice. Return the pork pieces and any liquid that is on the plate to the multi-cooker. Cover and position the vent to the Sealing setting. Set the multi-cooker for High Pressure, use the Manual button to adjust the cook time to 25 minutes and cook. When the time is up, allow the multi-cooker to sit for an additional 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Carefully release the remaining pressure by switching the vent to Venting. Let the steam vent until the float valve has dropped, then remove the lid. Remove the pork mixture with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet and shred the pork with 2 forks.
• Place the baking sheet under the broiler and crisp the carnitas for 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.) Remove from the oven, ladle some of the juices from the pot over the carnitas and carefully toss. Serve alongside the warm tortillas with peach salsa, Easy Queso and fresh cilantro leaves.
• Combine the cheese, the whole can of tomatoes and chiles and the jar of pimientos with their liquid in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
