Seeking Healthy Pork Carnitas

Does anyone have a good recipe? A crock pot version would be fantastic!

I do not have a direct recipe, but I recently made a pork tenderloin roast in the Crock Pot and it was very healthy and "peeled" like carnitas meat. I actually made my own carnitas with low carb tortillas out of it! Not sure about the seasoning, though.

The meat itself was only 30 cal per ounce! Good stuff.

I love this website so much. I haven't actually made these, but I have tried a few of her recipies before. Pair the carnitas with her healthy lime rice for a knock off version of chipotle (and some really good burritos!)

Thanks ladies! I printed out both recipes. They both sound fantastic! I'll let my husband look at them and decide which one we try for tomorrow night's dinner. Thanks again!
