Thank you,
Crock Pot Carnitas

2-1/2 lb pork tenderloin
1 lime (juice and zest)
1 orange (juice and zest)
3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
2 T of cumin
(Note: I added some cayenne and cinnamon to round off
the second TBSP)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Lime quarters for each serving

Zest and then juice the citrus right in to the crock
pot. Add chopped garlic and cumin and mix well.
Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper and cut it to
fit, if necessary. Cook on low for 8-9 hours. Cut and
remove strings from tenderloin, and shred the meat
with two forks, mixing in whatever liquid there is.
Serve with tortillas, beans, corn, guacamole, shredded
cheese, cilantro, etc. and/or over rice.
