For the spice rub:
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt (if using regular table salt, only use 2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Scant pinch of ground cloves
For the pork:
3 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder roast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the tacos:
Sliced avocado
Sliced radishes
Thinly sliced cabbage
Warm tortillas, corn or flour
Fresh squeezed lime juice
Salsa

Steps:

  • Brown the roast: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. (If you are using a slow cooker with a removable container that can be used on the stove top, use that. Otherwise, use a separate pan.) Place the roast in the pan and brown on all sides.
  • Serve warm: Serve with warm tortillas, avocados, shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, cilantro, and a splash of lime juice or salsa.

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 3-1/2 to 4 pound pork shoulder, rinsed and cleaned

1 package corn or flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) and rub all over with the seasoning mixture.
  • Pour the jar of salsa around the pork shoulder.
  • Cook on low heat for 8-12 hours.
  • Remove the pork to a plate and using 2 forks, shred the into bite size pieces (I like to remove the visible pieces of fat).
  • Pour a scoop or two of the juices into the pork and stir to combine (If you want to remove the excess fat from the juice you will use, pour it into a cup and refrigerate it until the fat solidifies and can be easily scooped out. Only the juices will remain).
  • Place the pork into the tortillas.
  • Serve with desired accompaniments.

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Tacos and then Some image

With the leftovers from the pulled pork recipe below, we have a) made sandwiches, b) combined some with BBQ sauce and c) ate it straight from the bowl in the fridge... all sheer bliss. Today when I spied the last of our supply, I was inspired to make tacos with all my favorite toppings and here they are. You will have leftover pulled pork and be darned thankful for it! Time estimate does not include overnight marinating.

Time 13h20m

Yield 8 tacos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2-4 lbs boneless pork shoulder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon mesquite powder
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
1/2 cup cider vinegar
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
2 avocados, cut into 1/4 slices
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, may be chopped
mild green taco sauce, to taste
1/2 cup onion, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
1 cup vegetable oil, enough to cover tortillas in a small fry pan

Steps:

  • Making the pork: COMBINE BROWN SUGAR THROUGH MESQUITE POWDER. Spread over entire roast. Refrigerate roast in a Ziploc bag for up to 24 hours.
  • PLACE APPLE JUICE and VINEGAR in a crock pot and add the spiced shoulder being careful not to lose the rub. Cook on high for two hours, then reduce to low for 10 more hours.
  • REMOVE THE ROAST and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • PULL roast apart with two forks.
  • Making the tacos: HEAT OIL in small fry pan on medium-high until hot. Fry tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side so they're starting to turn crispy but are still quite pliable. Drain on paper towels or paper bag.
  • SPREAD SOUR CREAM down the center of each tortilla along with slices of avocado and some cilantro.
  • DIVIDE THE PORK equally and top each taco with a portion. Finish with mild green taco sauce to taste and the optional onions and/or cheese.
  • FOLD TACO IN HALF and meditate while you lose yourself in culinary heaven!

Slow-Cooker Pork Tacos image

For an easy Mexican meal, set and forget seasoned pork shoulder for this Slow-Cooker Pork Tacos recipe from Food Network Magazine.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h36m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 whole ancho chiles
3 whole pasilla chiles
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 to 3 chipotles in adobo sauce
1/2 medium white onion, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
3 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (untrimmed), cut into chunks
Freshly ground pepper
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
Corn tortillas, warmed, for serving
Assorted taco toppings, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the ancho and pasilla chiles and the garlic in a bowl; add 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Microwave on high until soft and pliable, 2 to 3 minutes. Stem and seed the chiles; peel the garlic. Transfer the chiles and garlic to a blender.
  • Add the chipotles, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt and the oregano to the blender; puree until smooth. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat; add the chile sauce and fry, stirring, until thick and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Pour in the broth and reduce until slightly thickened.
  • Season the pork all over with salt and pepper and transfer to a large slow cooker. Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick, then pour in the sauce. Cover and cook on high until the meat is tender, about 5 hours. (Or cook the meat in a large Dutch oven, covered, for 1 hour 45 minutes at 350 degrees; uncover and cook 30 more minutes.)
  • Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Shred the pork with 2 forks; season with salt and pepper. Serve the shredded pork in the tortillas, along with toppings.
