Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos

This is one of the easiest recipes in the Taco Tuesday Cookbook (page 124), and it earns that spot for a reason. The slow cooker does all the heavy lifting, delivering tender, flavorful pulled pork that’s ready to taco-up at dinner time.

If you have leftovers, turn them into quick pork carnitas the next day. But honestly, make this anytime you want a no-fuss meal that’s ready when you are.

Ingredients

Make this recipe with tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, taco seasoning, and garlic cloves to add flavor, a pork shoulder roast or any cut of pork (same amount), and chicken broth or stock.

How to Make Pulled Pork Tacos in a Slow Cooker

Like most slow cooker recipes, you’ll add all the ingredients to the bowl, and cook it on high for 6 hours (or 8 to 10 on low). When it’s ready, simply shred the meat, assemble the tacos, and enjoy an epic taco night!

How to Keep Pulled Pork Moist in a Crockpot

This recipe has enough liquid that keeping the pulled pork warm in the slow cooker won’t dry it out. The key is to keep it warm at the lowest heat setting and give it a stir to moisten the meat.

How to Shred Pork Easily

When the pulled por is warm, the meat shreds easily on a cutting board or inside the slow cooker by using two forks to pull the meat apart.
