Carnitas — slow-braised pork that's crisped under the broiler — are the gold standard of taco fillings, and the slow cooker makes them almost effortless. Pork shoulder is rubbed with warm spices and slow-cooked in citrus juice until it practically falls apart. The secret step is spreading the shredded pork on a sheet pan and broiling until the edges turn golden and crispy — that contrast of tender meat and caramelized crust is what makes carnitas unforgettable.
