aka: taco de carnitas, carnitas taco, roast pork, slow cooker carnitas, crockpot carnitas, crock pot carnitas

pairs-with: corn-tortillas, salsa-roja, refried-beans

slack: narrow — the broiler leg is about four minutes wide, and once the shreds go from crisp to dry the fat is not going back in

washing-up: the slow cooker crock, the skillet, a sheet to crisp the pork on

capacity: 3 — the skillet, brown

keeps: 3 days — the meat keeps and the crisp does not, and this one went in wetter; the broiler is the fix

step: shred, crisp under the broiler 10 min

5

Shred @&( timer coarsely, spread it on a sheet with a few spoonfuls of the fat from the pot, and crisp it under the broiler 10 min , watching it.
