Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 lb pork shoulder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pepper
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
½ cup lime juice
½ cup orange juice
2 cups chicken broth
6 cups mixed greens
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup corn
1 cup black beans
avocado, diced
½ cup dressing, of choice, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season the pork with salt and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over high heat for 5 minutes, until very hot.
  • Working in batches, sear the pork on each side for 1 minute, until a brown crust forms.
  • Add all of the pork to the pot with the chili powder, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, garlic, and onion. Toss to combine. Add the lime juice, orange juice, and chicken broth. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook until the meat is tender, 1 hour.
  • Remove the pork from the pot and shred using 2 forks. Let the carnitas cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, carnitas, carrots, corn, black beans, and avocado. Toss well. Add dressing, if desired.
  • Divide between plates and serve.
  • Enjoy!
