Smokey Tomatillo Pork Tacos

Smokey Tomatillo Pork Tacos

I've fallen behind on the blog this week as we have so much going on right now, however, I put together these tacos last week using my trusty slow cooker. You could also use a dutch oven and cook in your oven on a low temperature. I needed to use up the pork tenderloin I had in my freezer and you just can't go wrong with mexican food in our house

What's in it:

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into 3 large pieces

• 18 oz smoky tomatillo sauce (or green sauce)

• 1 medium white onion, chopped

• 3 roasted green chiles, chopped

• About 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, garlic powder

• Pinch of cayenne

• Small flour or corn tortillas

Toppings: • Cilantro • Jalapeno • crumbled queso fresco • fresh salsa • avocado • white onion

Cook in a slow cooker for 6-7 hours on low. Pull the pork out, shred it and place back into the slow cooker for another 20-30 minutes so the meat soaks up the liquid and adds some more flavor. Season with salt & pepper to taste before serving.

Serve on tortillas and the suggested toppings mentioned above.

For leftovers: I left the rest of the juice with the meat so it stayed moist and flavorful.

Enjoy!
