Steps(5)

  1. 1

    In 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.

  2. 2

    Place 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.

  3. 3

    Once the meat is cooked and cool enough, pull apart with a fork.

  4. 4

    Serve with tortillas and desired toppings (cabbage, sour cream and avocado work well).

  5. 5

    For 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.

Multi-Cooker-Friendly Recipe Instructions

  1. 1

    In 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.

  2. 2

    Place the pork in the inner pot of your multi-cooker and top with the onion. Squeeze the orange juice over the meat and place the two spent halves into the pot, along with 1 cup chicken broth.

  3. 3

    Turn on the multi-cooker and secure lid, setting pressure valve to “sealing.” Select “manual” or “pressure cook” and cook on high-pressure for 60 minutes. Select “cancel” to turn off the machine.

  4. 4

    Allow the pressure valve to natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes, then quick-release the pressure by turning the seal to “venting.”

  5. 5

    Once the meat is cooked and cool enough, pull apart with a fork. Serve in tortillas with desired topping. For a more traditional preparation, see step 5 of the standard recipe.
