Ingredients

  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 2 pounds Pork Shoulder add note re: using other pulled pork
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 8 tablespoons Taco seasoning use our homemade seasoning or 2 packets of taco seasoning from the store
  • 12 Corn tortillas street taco size
  • Your favorite taco toppings

Instructions

  • Place sliced onions in the slow cooker and then place the pork on top of them fat side up.
  • Rub the olive oil over the meat and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Use your hands to rub the seasoning onto the meat so it is well coated.
  • Place the lid on it and set it to Low for 8-10 hours or High for 5-6 hours. You’ll know the meat has finished cooking when it easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Once the pork has finished cooking remove it from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Dispose of any excess liquid in the slow cooker. Cut off any large bits of fat left on the pork and dispose of those as well.
  • Use two forks to pull the pork apart. Set aside.
  • Prepare your corn tortillas by heating a skillet over medium high heat. Add as many tortillas as will fit in your pan without overlapping. Cook for 15-30 seconds per side. Set aside.
  • Place approximately 2.5 ounces of pulled pork on each corn tortilla and top with your favorite taco toppings (see suggestions in the post above).
