Steps (5)
-
Step 1In a small bowl, stir the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker with the olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the surface of the meat.
-
Step 2Place the pork in a slow cooker and top with the onion. Squeeze the orange juice over the meat and place the two spent halves into the pot. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
-
Step 3Once the meat is cooked and cool enough, pull apart with a fork.
-
Step 4Serve with tortillas and desired toppings (cabbage, sour cream and avocado work well).
-
Step 5For a more traditional preparation, heat a large sauté pan coated with olive oil over high heat. Press the carnitas into the pan and cook until crusty on one side before serving.
