Mexican-Style Shredded Pork

Amazing flavor, tender, and moist—the entire family loved it!

The recipe was so easy and was a hit! I fried it a little after I shredded it coz it made too much sauce in the slow cooker but the sauce itself is tasty! The cilantro lime rice was yummy! Glad I came across this recipe. Kudos to the one who shared it

This was delicious! I did add lime juice and cilantro before cooking as others suggested but I made no other changes to the seasoning. I served it in soft taco shells with avocado, cilantro, tomato and sour cream but I'll try the cilantro lime rice for my leftovers. My only error was to salt the meat too heavily- it didn't need it.

The chipotle sauce makes this dish a success. Hubs poked one fork into the pot before serving and said "This is the best pork you've ever made!" He couldn't resist grazing from the pot each time my back was turned. So incredibly simple with savory results. I served it on a bed of spanish yellow rice to which I added the cilantro. Topped it all off with shredded cheese, a dollop of guacamole, and a warm flour tortilla on the side. Muy bueno!

I discovered this recipe last week and I have made it twice since last week. For two people. That's a lot of pork per person. SO GOOD. I do a couple of little personal twists to this recipe. I have to buy the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and then use the food processor on them, because I cannot find the "chipotle sauce". S'OK, I love that flavor any old how. When the pork is done cooking, I strain the fatty sauce goodness that accumulated in the slow cooker. I add lime juice to it, and then I pour about half of my newly made sauce over the pork. It absolutely does taste better the next day. If you have the will power to do so, shred it, leave it alone, then re-visit it tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, take it out of the fridge and fry it up in butter to get that carnitas-y crispy goodness. I love this stuff. I posted three pictures of it on here already, ha!
