Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or skillet over a burner turned to medium-high heat.
Step 3
Sear the pork loin on each side, about 4 minutes per side, until a crust has formed.
Step 4
Turn the burner off and add the stock, orange juice, lime juice, and the can of chipotles to the Dutch oven, or transfer the seared loin to a casserole dish and top with the ingredients listed above.
Step 5
Place the lid on the Dutch oven, or cover the casserole dish with foil, and place in the preheated oven for 2-3 hours. When you can pull apart the pork with a fork, it is done.
Step 6
Taste and add salt and pepper if desired, but I often find that the canned chipotles add enough seasoning.
Step 7
If a crispy carnita is desired, spread the pork out on to a sheet pan and turn the oven to high broil.
Step 8
Broil for 2-3 minutes, until a crust has formed on the meat. Watch carefully so the pork doesn’t burn.
Step 9
Serve in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or on taco salad.
