My favorite taco or burrito filling by far has to be carnitas. Slow-cooked pork shoulder simmered with some simple aromatics makes this mouthwatering dish a winner. I love serving this pork dish to my family and friends on game nights, pool parties or picnics. Although any time is a good time to eat carnitas! When you add the orange, make sure to peel slices of zest using a vegetable peeler and then juice the orange. Add the orange peel right in with the pork. This along with the cinnamon stick and bay leaves will make for an amazing flavor. Make enough so everyone can have seconds!
15. Sticky ribs
Pork ribs and some kind of sticky, sweet-n-spicy sauce are just so good to eat. Preparing them in the slow cooker is a great idea too. The long, slow cooking process coaxes the meat away from the bone until it's just about clinging on and perfectly tender to the bite. The recipe can be found here.
