We really needed a menu shake up this week. I first made these carnitas while we were still in Alaska. The meat is tender, slices of avocado add a nice freshness and the lime juice really helps bring it all together. This is definitely a crowd pleaser and since it's a crock pot recipe, you can throw it all together in the morning and it's ready to go for dinner. This is a recipe for two people but can easily be doubled.
Ingredients:
1 pound thin cut sirloin steak (a flank or skirt steak would work as well)
1 packet mojito lime seasoning
1/2 tbsp salt
4 tortillas
4 tbsp salsa
1 avocado
1 lime
In a crock pot, put the steak on the bottom and add water just to the top of them. Add half the packet of seasoning and salt. Place on high for 2-3 hours or low for 5-6.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and roughly chop it up. Slice the avocado. Fill each tortilla with a quarter of the seasoned steak, top with salsa and 1/4 of the avocado. Squeeze fresh lime on top just before serving. Enjoy!
