Name: Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
Ingredients: 4 lb pork shoulder (bone in, (I leave fat on for extra flavor while cooking and trim after cooking)); 1/2 T chili powder; 2 t cumin; 2 t salt; 2 T garlic (minced ); 1 10 oz bag frozen onions (chopped); 1 orange (juiced); 1-2 limes (juiced)

This is by far one of my favorite Whole30 recipes! It is so versatile! Can be eaten as a standalone dish, scrambled in eggs for breakfast, on top of plantain chips as ‘nachos’ (before plantain chips were Whole30 banned 🙁 ), etc.! I love to eat it as a salad topping as pictured!
