Taco Tuesday ~ Slow Cooker Carnitas

Clean eating doesn't mean you can't eat anything delicious. This is one of our favorite recipes and it's really simple to make. You can serve it as tacos on clean corn tortillas or over lettuce as a taco salad. My personal favorite is a copycat of Chipotle's Carnitas Burrito Bowl over cilantro lime brown rice & black beans.

Ingredients:

1 t salt
1 t garlic powder                                                                    
1 t ground cumin
1/2 t dried oregano
1/2 t ground coriander
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1 (4 pound) boneless extra lean pork roast
2 bay leaves
2 C low sodium chicken broth

Directions:

1. Mix spices together in a small dish
2. Coat all sides of pork roast with spice mix
3. Place bay leaves inside the bottom of  your slow cooker & place the pork roast on top
4. Pour chicken broth around sides of the pork, be careful not to rinse off the spices
5. Cover & cook on low for about 10 hours, turning once during cooking
6. Once pork is cooked tender, remove from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks
7. Return shredded pork to remaining liquid in slow cooker and set to "keep warm" until ready to serve
