What Ingredients Do I Need To Make These Slow Cooker Pork Tacos

These Slow Cooked Pork Tacos can be varied however you see fit. I prefer them pretty straight up: soft tortillas, hot shredded pork, a squeeze of lime, and salsa, sour cream, or guac for topping. If you prefer, you can throw on the cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, but I don’t think it needs it. In fact, if you wanted to go super-duper simple, you could just toss on chopped onion and cilantro and call it good.

Here is a breakdown of recipe ingredients:

• pork shoulder or pork butt roast
• taco seasoning – you can use storebought or try making your own homemade taco seasoning mix 
• corn or flour tortillas – Try making your own corn tortillas!
• toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fresh lime

Very good.

How Do I Make The Slow Cooker Pork For These Tacos?

This couldn’t be simpler. Just place your pork into your slow cooker and then rub the taco seasoning all over the meat. 

You can add 1/4 cup of water, but you don’t have to. The roast contains enough liquid so it’s optional. 

And then cook the roast on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. Once it’s done cooking the meat will shred very easily. 

What Should I Serve These Slow Cooker Pork Tacos With?

These tacos go great with Mexican Rice and the Cumin-Scented Cabbage Salad.
