A taco is only as good as its stuffing. Here’s a recipe that only takes 15 minutes to prep, then you hand it off to the slow cooker to make your tacos perfect.
Ingredients:
1 white onion, halved and thinly sliced 5 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, minced 3 lbs cubed pork shoulder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano 2 oranges
1 lime ⅓ cup chicken broth
Directions:
- Place the onion, garlic, jalapeño and pork in the base of a slow cooker. Add the salt, pepper, cumin and oregano.
- Zest the oranges and lime over the pork, then halve them and squeeze the juice over the pork. Pour the broth over the pork as well.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and set the heat on low. Cook for 7 hours, or until the meat is tender and easy to shred with a fork.
- Use two forks to shred the meat. The pork can be served immediately (we prefer it in tacos) or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
