Carnita Salad

 This SO SO good and So So So easy!  And if you are a crockpot lover, like myself it is also so so easy!
Ingredients
  • 1 (5-6 lb) boneless pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 4 -6 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 -4 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2-3 tsp dried chipotle flakes or 1-2 dried chipotle peppers (depending on how hot you like it)
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tsp chicken or beef bouillon1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown all sides.  (Don't skip this step, this is what is going to sear you meat and keep it moist!)
  2. Let rest 10- 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  3. Chop tomatoes, garlic and oregano. Place pork in crock pot and add all ingredients on top of pork
  4. Cook on low 6-9 hours.
  5. Remove bay leaves and whole cloves (and chipotle peppers if you used whole peppers). Remove pork to cutting board, leaving juices in crock pot. Shred meat and return to juices in the crock pot.
  6. Serve on a bed of fresh torn Romaine lettuce. Top with shredded lettuce, salsa and guacamole,
