- 1 package Siete Almond Flour Tortillas
To serve

- fresh lime
- minced white onion
- chopped cilantro
Method
Step 1
Add the pork shoulder to a slow cooker with 1/2 cup of water and cook over low setting for 6-7 hours, or until tender. If using an instant pot, add pork with 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 35 minutes.
Step 2
Once pork is finished cooking, drain cooking liquid/fat, reserving 1/2 cup for carnitas.
Step 3
Add reserved fat/stock, and carnitas seasoning to the pot with pork. Mix well.
Step 4
For crispy carnitas, spread seasoned pork over a sheet tray and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy. Keep an eye on it so it does not burn.
Step 5
Heat the tortillas according to package instructions. Garnish the carnitas taco with onions, cilantro, and fresh lime.
