Slow Cooker Spicy Pork Tacos


I swear I've been killing it with crockpot recipes lately and I'm sure this won't be the last. The original recipe was found here and I changed it up to my liking which turned out great. You can also adjust the heat factor by using more or less chipotle peppers. I usually aim for medium spicy meals.

Ingredients:
1 (4 lb) boneless pork shoulder
1 (12-oz.) can of beer 
1/2 can chipotles in adobo sauce, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp white vinegar
Juice from 1 squeezed lime
1 tsp ground cumin
black pepper (to taste)
small flour tortillas

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chunky salad, chopped avocado, shredded lettuce.

Cook time: 4-5 hours on high in slow cooker


What To Do:
1. Place pork roast in the crockpot and set timer to 4 hours on high (or 8 hours on low).

2. Add onion, chipotles in adobo sauce, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, chilli powder, garlic powder and black pepper to food processor and puree the mixture.


3. Pour mixture over pork roast and then pour can of beer into slow cooker and toss until the pork is evenly coated.

4. Stir in the beer until it is evenly combined.  Then pour the mixture on top of the pork, and toss until the pork is evenly coated.


5. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours until pork can be easily shredded using two forks.


6. Serve of soft or hard tortillas with optional toppings listed above.


Enjoy!

  4. This looks so good- I love pork, especially when you can just throw it in the crockpot, but it's nice to try out different blends of spies and ingredients to add to it!

  13. those look so good! I have to admit, I don't cook pork as much as I want to. I didn't eat it much growing up, so I don't think about it when meal planning.
