This is one of those recipes that will last forever if you’ve got a small family (only two of us eating it), or it’s great for a family/friend get together.
It’s super simple: just throw the stuff in the crock pot, and you’ve got Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos.
Ingredients
- 2 cups salsa, plus more for serving (We used Medium once and Mild once. I think I preferred the Medium)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Yes, I said cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Two and a half pound boneless pork butt or shoulder, trimmed of excess fat. We buy a 6 lb size (not sure if you can find it for smaller) and use half right away and save the other half for later
- 15-20 tortillas (or tacos), depending on how much you put in each one
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro springs
- sour cream
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- sliced avocado
- shredded cheese
- diced tomatoes
Directions
In a 4-6 quart slow cooker, combine the salsa, chili powder, oregano, cocoa, and salt.
After you trim the pork, add the pork, and turn to coat.- Cover and cook until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily (on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours).
Using 2 forks, shred the pork and stir.
Serve with the tortillas or tacos, cilantro, sour cream, lime, salsa, avocado, cheese, and whatever else you want on your taco.
Before cooking, I added some fajita seasoning to give it more of a taco flavor. Also, there is a lot of sauce, so you might want to drain it to keep for a broth or to pour over rice or beans.
