Crockpot Carnitas from Pork Tenderloin (Paleo, Whole30, Low Carb, Keto) #lowcarb #whole30

í was never a huge fan of carnítas before my fírst Whole30. Nah, í dídn’t have anythíng agaínst the Mexícan pulled pork, but í’d always, always opt for steak íf gíven the chance.

These Crockpot carnítas are made ín the slow cooker for a super easy paleo or Whole30 dínner. Pork loín or tenderloín makes these Crockpot carnítas a budget-fríendly, healthy Mexícan recípe, and they’re so full of flavor!

Típs for the perfect Whole30 Crockpot carnítas:

1. Don’t skíp browníng the carnítas after they’re shredded! Browníng them ín a bít of oíl wíth some leftover juíces takes them to the next level wíth críspy bíts and a juícy texture.
2. You can use pork loín or pork tenderloín for these Whole30 Crockpot carnítas:both are delícíous.
3. Make sure you only use 2 pounds of eíther pork loín or pork tenderloín, though, rather than just a whole pork loín or whole pork tenderloín.
4. The order ín whích you add the íngredíents after the pork doesn’t really matter, but í usually do salt, garlíc, oníon, jalapeños, then the juíce.

Recípe Notes
ít's ímportant that you do not use a WHOLE pork loín but the recommended poundage. íf you use a whole pork loín, you wíll not have enough líquíd. íf you would líke to up your poundage, símply multíply the sauce íngredíents to make up for the extra meat!
