Day Eleven - Pulled Pork Tacos

So these are really more like pulled pork fajitas but Jim adamantly calls them tacos and I just go with it. I don't know where I originally got this recipe but I've adapted it for the Whole30 and it is just as good as when it had brown sugar in the marinade.  It is another slow-cooker recipe so it is good for a week night and you can either use fresh peppers and onions or grab a bag of frozen peppers and onions.  Either way it is pretty quick to throw together.

Pulled Pork Tacos

Ingredients

-3 to 4 lb pork roast or loin
-3 peppers and 1 onion cut into strips (or bag of frozen pepper and onions)
-2 tsp. dried oregano
-2 tsp. cumin
-2 tsp. chili powder
-1 Tbsp. salt
-pepper to taste
-4 cloves of garlic or 2 heaping Tbsp. fresh minced garlic
-2 Tbsp. olive oil
-3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
-1 large onion (cut into quarters)
-1 Tbsp lime juice

Husband Friendly Ingredients
-tortillas
-cheddar cheese

Directions

1.  Put everything except the pork and peppers & onions into a food processor.  Process everything till a marinade forms.
2.  Rub the pork roast with the marinade.
3.  Slow-cook on low for 8 hours.
4.  When roast is done, cook up the peppers and onions in a frying pan.
5.  Remove roast from slow-cooker and shred with two forks.
6.  Place meat back in slow cooker and stir so that flavoring coats the meat.
7.  Add meat to the peppers and onions mixture.
8.  Serve on top of mixed greens.

  1. What a great recipe all year round, Lizzie! I bet one can use beef, venison, chicken or lamb too! Dad wanted something like this for Father's Day. Do you have a Paleo cole slaw recipe that could go with this? oxoxoMom
