Slow Cooker Ranch Carnitas

Ingredients(6)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps(5)

  • 1

    In a small bowl, stir the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker with the olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the surface of the meat.

  • 2

    Place the pork in a slow cooker and top with the onion. Squeeze the orange juice over the meat and place the two spent halves into the pot. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

  • 3

    Once the meat is cooked and cool enough, pull apart with a fork.

  • 4

    Serve with tortillas and desired toppings (cabbage, sour cream and avocado work well).

  • 5

    For a more traditional preparation, heat a large sauté pan coated with olive oil over high heat. Press the carnitas into the pan and cook until crusty on one side before serving.
