Juicy Slow Cooked Pork Tacos

Before last night, I was not a believer in crockpots. Not that I didn’t think they didn’t make excellent meals, but that it just had this stigma for me: 1980s, minivans, mushy meat concoctions. However, a couple of months ago, my dear friend Larry made us the most amazing pulled pork dinner with his crockpot. I can still remember how he pulled off this Juicy Slow Cooked Pork Tacos recipe.

Fast forward, I got one, and I used it, baby! Wow! This is only the beginning! The true secret: do not add liquid! The fat and juices from the pork will cook itself, dreamy baby! Check out the tasty recipe for slow cooked pork tacos that will blow your mind.
