fajita filling

Sometime last winter, a coworker emailed this carnitas recipe to the Chief Taster.  The Chief Taster, knowing who makes the bread she butters, sent it to me.  We shared the wholly untested recipe with friends that weekend as fajita filling.  I was quick to remind them that I'd never made it before, in case it was terrible, but it's pretty hard to get a slow-cooker recipe so wrong as to render it inedible.

The spice blend

In fact, it was pretty good.  Not outstanding, in my mind, but everyone seemed to like it, and I tend to prefer flavors that grab you by the ears and shake you, demanding your attention.
