Shredded Pork for Tacos Recipe

A delicious and easy way to prepare Mexican shredded pork for tacos is by using the slow cooker. The process to preparing this pork taco meat can be done by simply combining all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. Instead of just sprinkling the seasonings over the top of the roast you can rub the spices into the meat before adding it to the slow cooker if you want. This pork taco meat gets a lot of its flavor from seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano. It gets a little kick from crushed red pepper flakes. If you want even more heat you can add some cayenne pepper into the mix. This pork taco meat can be used in a variety of different ways. It can be used in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. I like to serve this meat on corn tortillas with queso fresco, green onion, cilantro, and hot sauce. Enjoy.
