Easy Gluten Free Slow Cooked Carnitas
The great part about these Easy Gluten Free Slow Cooked Carnitas is that you can use the sow cooker, or Instant Pot. I love using both for different reasons. The Instant Pot is great if I don’t have time to make it ahead, but the slow cooker is awesome for throwing it together before work and having dinner done when you get home. There is nothing better than walking in the door on a long day and smelling the slow cooked carnitas.
