Rub four tablespoons of carnitas seasoning on four pounds of boneless pork. Place it in a crockpot and add one cup of orange juice (or water). Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 6-7 hours. Place the meat on a rimmed baking sheet, shred with two forks, and brown under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Return the carnitas to the juices in the slow cooker.
Two: Chicken Marinade
Combine 3 tablespoons of carnitas seasoning, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Marinate 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts for 30 minutes before cooking.
