The Instapot
I keep calling it that. I know it’s an Instant…
Oh, my… I think I’ve found our new favorite recipe. It’s so easy! I really do adore my crockpot… I just plopped in a pork shoulder and some sauce ingredients and let it cook all afternoon, and when I got home, it was fall-apart tender and perfect for tacos. I quick-marinated some red onions, and added some cilantro and sliced avocado. Would it be bad to have pork tacos for dinner every night?
Shredded Pork
Place roast in slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients. Pour over meat in cooker.
Cover and cook on low 8 – 10 hours, or on high 4 – 6 hours, or until meat is tender but not dry.
Place pork on a platter and shred with 2 forks, removing any fat. Stir shredded meat back into sauce. Serve in tacos (or burritos! Or gorditas! Or tamales!)
Makes 4 – 6 servings.

Man. I wish I had a crockpot… It always sounds so easy. “Throw the meat, some spices, and water in, and hay presto, dinner’s on the table!” (…12 hours later.) This looks great! 😀
Wei-Wei
The good news is that they’re not too expensive… I had to replace my super-old one recently, and I found a great one for $20 at Target. (But do you have Target over there?) 🙂
oooh, i am definitely going to put the ingredients on my grocery list. looks/sounds delicious!
