Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Street Tacos
You'll want to have tacos every night with these simple Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Street Tacos recipe. The pork cooks in the slow cooker, which makes these street tacos an easy dinner recipe!
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
Carnitas
- 8 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 6 pounds pork butt
For Tacos
- corn tortillas (or flour)
- 1 white onion (diced)
- 2 to 3 avocados (cut into cubes)
- 1 bunch cilantro (chopped)
- green salsa
- limes
Instructions
- To make the carnitas: Rub the taco seasoning all over the pork butt.
- Add the pork butt to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, until the pork is tender and shreds easily.
- Shred the pork using two forks. If you want to crisp up the pork before serving you can do that by placing in the air fryer (or heating in a cast iron skillet) for a few minutes to crisp it up (optional but totally worth it!).
- To assemble tacos: Heat the tortillas in a skillet until warm. Top tortillas with pork, onions, green salsa, avocado, cilantro, and squeeze of lime.
Notes
Tips
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can do this in a Dutch oven over the stovetop on low.
- I highly recommend crisping up the pork before serving. We like to do this in the air fryer for a few minutes, but a hot cast iron skillet also works!
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and reheat as needed.
