Freezer Crockpot Pork Carnitas

Okay, here is the second post the I promised for today.  It was so tasty!!!  The only thing I think was missing was a little guacamole.   My own personal preference...

Crock-pot Pork Carnitas

Ingredients:
2 pounds pork tenderloin roast
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel
Tortillas
Toppings - cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, etc...

I only made the 2 pounds but I really should have made more.  It was that good...


Instructions:
Place the roast and onion in gallon-sized freezer bag.  Sprinkle in cumin, then add salsa & Ro-tel.  Zip closed and place in freezer.  When ready to use, thaw in fridge for 24 hours.  Empty contents into crock-pot and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.
Once cooked, remove roast from crock-pot and shred.
Drain juice out of crock-pot, reserving some in a small bowl.  Leave onions and tomatoes in crock-pot.  Add meat back in the crock-pot and stir.  Add some more of the reserved juice back in.  Or in my case, I just left a little in the crock-pot.
Serve on tortillas with desired toppings.
