You can really put whatever you would like in your bowl - I usually change it up! I love that Carnitas are a great replacement for taco meat (especially if you cannot have nightshades) and are so easy to make! I always double this recipe :)

Ingredients:

2lbs Pork Butt or Shoulder (preferably pasture-raised)

1/2 cup Orange Juice, from about 2 oranges

2 limes, squeezed

2 Bay Leaves

1 Tbsp Oregano

2 tsp Cumin

1-2 tsp salt (to your liking; can always add more when done cooking)

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder (can omit for low fodmap - still tastes great!)

Toppings:

additional limes

cilantro

sweet peppers

jalapenos

fried plantains

Sauteed cabbage

sprouted rice or cauliflower rice

diced mango

diced pineapple

pico de gallo

avocado

Directions:

Add all ingredients for Carnita meat into slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. When done, shred meat in slow cooker and add to your additional ingredients in a bowl. If you would like crispy carnitas, you can add meat to a baking dish or tray and crisp up under broiler in oven.

To make in Instant pot: Add all Carnita meat ingredients to Instant-pot and cook on Meat mode for 90 minutes. Release pressure under natural release.
