Pork Carnitas

2 - 4 pounds pork roast

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
7 cloves garlic (whole intact)
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 cup beef broth
corn tortillas
sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce

1. In a small bowl, combine the salt and cumin. Rub mixture all over the pork, then plop into a crock-pot OR slow cooker. Add whole garlic cloves. Squeeze on the citrus, and pour the beef broth evenly over the top.
2. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork shreds quite easily with a fork.
3. Shred meat fully and serve on warmed corn tortillas with desired toppings.
4. 6 servings
