pulled pork tacos

Here is another easy crock-pot meal taken from Health magazine (December 2009). This is my kind of crock-pot meal – place meat, salsa and seasonings in the crock pot and set the timer. I used a smoky salsa, cayenne pepper, cumin and chili powder and a 2 lb pork shoulder. (from the Co-op so the meat is good, right taster? ;) )  I set the timer for about 7 hours on low and it was falling off the bone and essentially shredding itself when the timer went off.

Served with all the fix-ins this was such a satisfying meal. The pork was excellent, the toppings were fresh and refreshing and this recipe is definitely a keeper!

  • lettuce
  • tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • lime wedges
  • salsa
  • avocado
  • light sour cream

Oh, I saw this in the health magazine!

Looks really good. The insert of my crock pot broke and I can’t wait to get the replacement. Winter is the perfect time for crock pot cooking!
