Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos by car2ngrl

I love crock-pot recipes and this one is a crowd-pleasing, super easy one. The only thing I'm not a big fan of are the left over, unused chipotle peppers. I guess I need to find additional recipes to use them up.

Ingredients

  • 2 onions, diced (half for cooking and half for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (double if fresh)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1 28 oz can crushed or diced tomatoes
  • 1 14.5 oz can whole tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 3/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and halved crosswise
  • FOR SERVICE
  • 1 pkg corn tortillas
  • 1 bunch cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 bunch radishes, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated cheddar cheese (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (for garnish)
8 servings

Directions

In a crock pot, combine all the non-service ingredients (i.e., only half the onions). Toss to coat pork.

Cook covered on high setting until meat is pull-apart tender, about 6 hours.

Transfer meat to a large bowl and shred with forks, discarding any gristle.

Return meat to pot, discard bay leaves, and toss with sauce.

Serve on tortillas with desired garnishes -- onions, cilantro, radish, cheese, and/or sour cream.

6.5 hours
