This flavorful, delicious and easy to make pulled pork can be your dinner tonight. Make enough to serve it this week in tacos, nachos, or in a pulled pork sandwich on toasted buns.
4-5 lb. pork roast (shoulder, butt or picnic cut pork roast- bone-in or boneless roast)
6 T. taco seasoning
3/4 c. orange juice
freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro, for serving if desired
Rinse and pat dry the roast. Rub taco seasoning all over the meat; place in the slow cooker with the fat side facing up. Pour orange juice over the roast. Cover; cook on LOW for 10-11 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours, until the meat is tender and falling apart. (If the fat cap is still intact over the roast, pull the big pieces off and discard.)
Gently shred the roast with two forks leaving lots of bite-size pieces. Toss the pork in any juices left in the bottom of the pot.
Serve with freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro, if desired.
8 servings.
