The easiest thing about this slow cooked carnitas recipe is that most of the work was done in one of my favorite kitchen aides – the Slow Cooker. A few minutes under the broiler was all it took to crisp up the succulent pork. With a few whirls of the immersion blender, the fire roasted tomatoes turned into a flavor packed sauce. As I didn’t have any tortillas on hand, I decided to attempt to make my own homemade tortillas and it was so simple that I won’t be buying them again if I can help it. Serve these carnitas with a side of Spanish rice and you have a perfect meal that will have everyone marveling at how you managed to do it all and not break a sweat.
