This is a two step process that starts with the crockpot and then ends in the oven to achieve that crispy carnitas texture. It was very tasty and a big hit to the kids because they could put whatever they wanted on theirs.
Let's Get Crafty:
3lb pork roast (I just bought whatever was on sale) - cut into chunks
Mix together and then toss with the pork until everything is well coated:
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
Toss into the crockpot along with 1 large diced onion and 1 cup chicken broth
Cook on low 8 hours.
You could then shred the meat and put it on tacos- but to get the crispy delicious edges of carnitas this next step is key. Shred apart and bake in the oven 45 minutes at 275 degrees. The picture right below is coming straight from the crockpot to the foil lined baking sheet. You can see the crispy magic that comes when comparing this picture to the top one.
