Dr Nick's Pork Soft Tacos

Recipe #256974 | 6½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

A 'pulled pork' recipe I came up with, inspired by my local El Salvadorian restaurant. Great for those who aren't fans of sweet BBQ sauce-based versions (like me!). Try it with Quick Spanish Rice.

12 -24 small tacos (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash your hands!
  2. 2
    Trim excess fat from roast.
  3. 3
    Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub over the entire surface of the pork.
  4. 4
    Place pork in a slow cooker. Add water until roast is approximately half submerged. Add vinegar and remaining dry ingredients to the water and stir.
  5. 5
    Place slow cooker on low and leave for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally if you can.
  6. 6
    Remove roast from slow cooker. At this stage it's easy to remove any membrane that may be attached to the surface. Shred the pork using two forks and transfer to a large frying pan.
  7. 7
    Add about half the liquid to the pan and simmer gently until most of the liquid has reduced. You want the meat to be moist but not swimming.
  8. 8
    Serve in pre-warmed corn tortillas. I add chopped tomato and spanish onion with just a few drops of hot sauce.
  9. 9
    Enjoy!

I needed a simple recipe for pork but one that didn't produce a super sweet taste. I made this and the pork turned out fantastic. To be honest with you I will never use any other recipe now. I went to make it a 2nd time and realized I had not rated it. I was worried at first that the spices would be too strong but they weren't at all. This is a great recipe for pork to use for any mexican food. Thank you for posting this keeper recipe I will use over and over again!
