I found this recipe on Recipezaar. Kellen said it's better than a restaurant Chile Verde Burrito. I liked that it's Oh So Easy!
SERVES 6
- 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder cut into chunks (carnitas meat)
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano (Mexican if you can find it)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon minced onion flakes (or fresh onion)
- 1 teaspoon minced dried garlic
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons beef bouillon
- 16 ounces salsa verde
- tortillas
- desired toppings
- Mix all seasonings together in small bowl (except Salsa Verde).
- Mix Beef Boulion with water and pour in crock pot first.
- Rub meat with seasoning, place in crock pot, (for best results, I rub meat with seasoning the night before, let it sit in refrig to marinate).
- Cover and set on low for 6-8 hours. (Usually cooked within 6 hours).
- One hour before serving, drain pork drippings out leaving about 1/2 - 1 cup with meat. Pour Salsa Verde on top and stir to break up meat. Continue to cook. Just before serving I add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. (1 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp water).
- Serve with Spanish rice, refried beans, cheese, and any other toppings you like and enjoy!
