Dr Pepper Carnitas

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, stir together garlic salt, cumin, hatch chile powder, onion powder, oregano and pepper; rub all over pork.
2. In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons oil over medium. Sear pork until browned, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a cutting board.
3. In a large six-quart slow cooker, add Dr Pepper, lime juice, orange juice and any remaining juices from skillet. Add pork and turn gently to coat. Cook until very tender, 3–4 hours on High or 6–8 hours on Low. Transfer to cutting board, reserving liquid in slow cooker and shred with forks.
4. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat remaining oil. Working in batches as needed, sear pork until edges are crisp and lightly browned, about 3–5 minutes.
5. Return all pork to skillet and add 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid from slow cooker. Increase heat to high; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is thick and syrupy, 5–8 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately with tortillas and desired toppings.
