Carnitas

What you need:

Slow cooker 

3 to 4 lb. of pork butt (bone in)

salt 

peper 

garlic powder

mexican chili  powder

paprika

chipotle powder
cumin

1 yellow onion

1/2 cup of water

What to do:

Break out the ol' slow cooker, plug it in, and set it to the lowest setting (longest time, usually 8 hours)

Cut up the onion in a large dice, place it in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add water. 

Unwrap the pork butt and season aggressively.  Depending on your pallet, adjust the level of spice. 

Once seasoned, place in slow cooker and cover with lid. 

Walk away until the 8 hours are up. Don't peak!

After 8 hours, remove the bone and the liquid and shred with two forks.   

Almost done...

You could leave it just like this, but I HIGHLY recommend these next steps. 

Get a non-stick saute pan and turn the heat up to high. You may want to add a little oil to the pan. 

Place a good amount of the shredded pork in the pan and leave it until it has turned brown and is a little crispy. 

Turn the meat over and repeat.  

Be careful not to dry out the meat! The heat should be really high so that it "sears". 

Serve on lettuce cups with guacamole or just as is. 

Enjoy!
