*These were so tasty; though, I've got to be honest, it was all the great toppings that really got me going. I easily ate 3 myself. I think this would work really well with leftover pork roast. Any pork shoulder roast I saw at the store was easily more than 1 pound so I ended up using country pork ribs (a less-expensive fatty cut). The fat in the ribs didn't work as well in a crock pot, but after I trimmed them up, it was still good...next time I make pork roast, I'm going to save some just for these tacos!
Adapted from Betty Crocker
Ingredients:
1 1lb boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed
1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning (I used 2 T of the taco seasoning mix)
1 can (8oz) pineapple tidbits in juice, drained
2 t lime juice
1 package taco shells
Garnishes:
cheddar cheese
lettuce
tomato
sour cream
salsa
avocado
cilantro
Directions:
1. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Place pork in slow cooker; sprinkle with taco seasoning mix. (Here I added the pineapple juice, can use a little chicken stock--just drain after cooking, then add seasoning mix). Cover, cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or until pork pulls apart easily with fork.
2. Remove pork from slow cooker; shred pork. Stir in pineapple and lime juice.
3. To serve, divide pork among taco shells and top with garnishes.
