It’s a slow cooker Mexican pulled pork meal for today’s summer dinner recipe. You all know I love my slow cooker and especially in the summer! It’s hard to believe I have another Mexican meat recipe. I have so many of them but they all have a different taste and are all delicious. This one is great!
Now, when I made this recipe, I tripled it. If you are making this, why not get more than one meal done and save some time. This recipe is very saucy, and you don’t need all of it for the meat. So, for the second time we had this, I saved the sauce. It tastes just like enchilada sauce. So, I used the sauce to make enchiladas. I filled the tortillas with the meat and topped it with the excess sauce, followed by some shredded cheese. This Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork is just as yummy as tacos. However, if you decide to use this pork, you are going to love it.
