    Few more ingredients but my carnitas have always been a crowd pleaser

    • Pork shoulder
    • Coke
    • Orange juice
    • Chicken stock
    • Canned Chipotles in adobo
    • Onions
    • Garlic
    • Spices - I mix it up a bit, but salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and oregano will usually get you there. Packet or two of taco seasoning would probably do the trick as well

    I tend to eyeball everything, but usually about a 12oz can of coke, oj and stock until it looks right, one onion chopped up, however many cloves of garlic I feel like peeling and chopping

    If the pork shoulder fits I do it in a pressure cooker on high about 2 hours, if it doesn’t I do it significantly longer in a slow cooker

    When it’s falling apart, pull the bones out, shred (I like to use a mixer)

    Then like you, crisp it up under the broiler, and maybe mix in some of the cooking liquid
