Crock Pot Pork Tacos
Slow cooked for hours in the crock pot and full of delicious hearbs and spices, these Crock POt Prok Tacos taste like you worked for days on them when really the crock pot did all the heavy lifting for you.
Equipment
- Crock Pot (See post for instructions on cooking in the oven instead)
- Food processor or Blender (see post instructions if you don't have either)
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion quartered
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo
- 2 sprigs cilantro
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 c olive oil
- 3½-4 lb pork loin roast trimmed of fat
- 2 cans (4oz) diced green chilis
Instructions
- In a food processor (or blender) combine onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, cilantro, salt, paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper and lime juice. Process for about 1 minutes until everything is very well chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed, and process more.
- With the processor on, drizzle in the olive oil.
- Put the pork loin roast in the crock pot and spread the onion and herb mixture over the top.
- Set the crock pot on low for 10 hours.
- Shred the pork with two forks and incorporate the liquid it expressed while cooking. Add in the diced green chilis and mix well.
- Serve. We like to serve ours in corn tortillas with chopped onions and cilantro and lime wedges.
