Ingredients

4 servings

2 pounds boneless country style pork ribs or pork shoulder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano ((preferably Mexican))
½ large onion, (cut into 4 pieces)
1 large avocado, (halved, pitted and sliced)
fresh cilantro
1 medium red bell pepper, (sliced)
8 medium tortillas ((corn or flour))
1 cup green chile salsa

Steps

Toss the pork in the bowl of a slow cooker with salt, pepper, and oregano to coat. Place the onion pieces on top of the pork. Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork on a low setting until the meat is very tender and falling apart, about 6 hours (I've left it up to 10 hours, and it's been perfect either way).
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a cutting board. Discard the onion pieces. Using clean fingers (or two forks), shred the pork; transfer the carnitas to a platter. Place avocado slices, cilantro sprigs, and sliced red bell peppers, if desired, alongside.
Wrap corn or flour tortillas in a damp kitchen towel; microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Serve the carnitas with warm tortillas and green salsa.
