Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lb flank steak
12 oz beer
3/4 cup orange juice
3/8 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 flour tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
8 tsp low fat sour cream

Directions:

Place the steak, beer, orange juice, fresh lemon juice, salt and fresh ground pepper in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook until the steak is fork-tender, 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board; discard all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. With two forks, shred the steak into small pieces; transfer to a bowl and stir in the reserved cooking liquid.
Heat the tortillas according to package directions. Top each equally with the carnitas, pico de gallo salsa, and sour cream.
