Slow Cooked Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos

Chipotle who? These Pulled Pork Tacos are so flavorful and easy to make. I far prefer them to their less-healthy restaurant counterparts.  It’s always nice to come home from work knowing that dinner is already made and waiting for you, and since there is virtually no prep work for these it’s super quick to just toss all the ingredients in your slow cooker in the morning! The spices in this sauce were absolutely perfect and when the shredded pork was added back into the pot, the sauce-to-meat ratio was spot on. If you didn’t have dinner plans for Cinco de Mayo on Thursday, now you do!
