Pulled Pork Tacos

This is one of my favorite pulled pork recipes (yes, I have several!).  This was the main course at my party so I made two, yes two, crock pots of pulled pork for a total of 10 pounds.  Yoi! 

For this post, I'll give you the recipe to make a 2.5 pound piece of pork in the slow cooker.  That should be enough for 5-6 people.

In your crock pot, combine:

• 
  
  2 cups salsa
• 
  
  OR 1 cup salsa and 1 cup Rotel diced tomatoes (I've even used plain diced tomatos from a can, use whatever you have on hand)
• 
  
  2 tbsp. oregano
• 
  
  2 tbsp. chili powder
• 
  
  2 tbsp. cocoa powder
• 
  
  1 tsp. salt
• 
  
  2.5 lb. Boston Butt pork shoulder (may have a bone in it)

Stir this mixture and add pork.  Turn pork to coat.  Picture below shows pre-coated and post.  Rocket science, I know.

Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.  When done, the meat should just fall apart without much pulling on your part.  Remove the bone if you had one, and you're ready to serve!  That's it, so easy!!

To serve:

Wrap your tortillas in foil and warm in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.

These are best served just with the tortilla, pork, fresh cilantro, salsa, sour cream, and fresh squeezed lime juice.

You can also add lettuce and cheese as I've shown below, but you really don't need them!

For a normal meal, I pair these with some mexican rice and voila, there you go.  It's easy and fast to put together, perfect for a busy weeknight!
