Cooking Steps
- Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks, seasoning generously with salt, pepper, and cumin.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and stir for one minute.
- Transfer the seasoned pork, sautéed onions, and garlic to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until tender.
- Preheat oven to broil. Place jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast until charred on all sides (about 10 minutes).
- In a blender, combine roasted jalapeños (seeds removed), avocado flesh from two avocados, lime juice from one lime, and cilantro. Blend until smooth; season with salt.
- Shred cooked pork using forks. For extra crispiness, spread shredded meat on a baking sheet and broil for an additional five minutes.
- Serve in warm tortillas topped with jalapeño lime avocado sauce and chopped cilantro.

Notes
Store any leftover carnitas and salsa in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm the pork in a skillet until heated through.
