Instructions
Remove the pork from the packaging and drain any excess liquid. If you can't find boneless pork shoulder already cut for carnitas, you can cut up the meat yourself into medium sized pieces. Add your Sazon Goya seasoning and Goya Sazonador Total to the meat and mix well. (You can sub salt and pepper for the Goya seasonings if you prefer).
Add the seasoned meat to your crockpot, and set on low. Cover and cook for 8 hours.
Turn up your broiler. Place some of the meat under the broiler for just a couple of minutes or until the meat turns crispy and nicely browned. Keep checking the meat to ensure it doesn't burn!
Place some of the crispy and browned meat on your tortilla, and garnish with your garnishes of choice!
