Pork Carnitas.... Crock Pot Recipe

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 pound pork shoulder cut into 1 inch cubes
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin
(HONEST MOMENT - I do not measure any of this. I season until it smells right.:) )

In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the pork. Put pork and spices in the crockpot, mix well. (you can sprinkle the pork with the spices prior to browning. This is my preference) Cook on high for 4 - 6 hours or low for 7 - 8 hours. The pork should easily shred with two forks.

Serve with low carb tortillas, or lettuce leaves if you are REALLY serious about the no carb thing. Add cilantro, salsa, sour cream and avocado if you like!
