Ingredients

Scale

For the tacos:

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 34 lb boneless pork sirloin roast
  • 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 1 (1 oz) package taco seasoning (about 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles (not drained)
  • 1620 taco-size soft flour or corn tortillas

  • Juice of 1/2 small lime
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 4 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Make the taco meat: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook 5-8 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer to 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add water to skillet. Cook over medium-high heat 2-3 minutes, scraping up browned bits from skillet. Pour over pork. Sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning and green chiles. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.
  3. Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix all slaw ingredients until combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

  5. Serve pork in warmed tortillas topped with slaw, red onions and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
