I swear I can never have enough recipes for Mexican meat made in a slow cooker. Today’s pork carnitas verde is another version to add to your recipe box. This one has the word verde in the title. In case you didn’t know, verde is spanish for green. Hence, most of the ingredients used in the recipe are green.
I love how tender the meat is. Use it in tacos, burritos, etc. If you ever want to shred your meat in a jiffy, just place it in the bowl of a kitchen aid and use the paddle attachment. It will be nicely shredded in less than 30 seconds!
