Pork Carnitas

This was a really delicious recipe that we ate a few months ago, but I just found the recipe again when I was cleaning out my pantry.  Yep, I'm super organized.

Slow Cooked Carnitas

Pork roast (3-4 pounds)
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp  vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
5-6 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups minced cilantro
1 cup salsa
1 cup chicken broth
green chilies (one can, or 4-5 roasted chilies)
flour tortillas
chopped tomato, lettuce, etc...
sour cream
cheese

Cut roast in half; place in a slow cooker.  Sprinkle with garlic, oil, salt, and pepper.  Add the onions, cilantro, salsa, broth, and chilies.  Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or until meat falls apart.  Remove meat; cool slightly.  Shred with two forks and return to slow cooker.  Heat through.  Serve with tortillas and toppings of choice.
