Slow Cooked Pulled Pork Tacos

Recipes » Main Dish » Tacos, Burritos and Enchiladas

I modeled these tacos after my husband's favorite local Mexican restaurant. My husband now prefers mine and requests them often.

"Absolutely fabulous. I didn't have any pablanos handy so instead used a bit of the adobo sauce from some chipotle peppers in adobo. I've also used a dried chipotley pepper (seeds removed) and simply pulled it out after cooking. Phenomenal flavor in this dish. This one is in our regular menu rotation! Leftover go onto nachos or mixed with BBQ sauce for sandwiches."

Cover and slow cook on high for 4 to 6 hours until tender. Before serving, remove as much fat as possible from the pork then shred with two forks. Warm corn tortillas in the oven, then top with pork, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Serve with lime wedge to be sqeezed over the taco just before eating. You could also garnish with some extra chopped cilantro.

Notes

Leftover pork can be used for enchiladas or a casserole. It would even make a great sandwhich.

	Great! I did add a little adobo and garlic salt but this was really good. Especially with home made tortillas and fresh acocado. Yummy! karah 7 months, 1 weeks, 2 days, 9 hours, 22 minutes ago
	These were easy but a little too plain for us. We added fresh Pico de Gallo but I think next time I will try to season the meat more while it is cooking. jlburgart 1 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 18 hours, 15 minutes ago

	Absolutely fantastic! we love going to Chipotle/Qdoba, but we are hours from either. This was better than either! Excellent flavor! Removed pork from liquid to pull with forks, then poured about 2/3 cup of it back over shredded meat. Loved it! jamesdressler 1 years, 7 months, 4 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes ago
