Crock-pot Pulled Pork Tacos
Slow Cooker Days
There is nothing like slow cooking a roast. The crock-pot can get that meat so tender. Cooking a pork roast in the crock pot can take awhile, though. One time when we were questioning the “doneness” of our pork roast after a day of slow cooking it, we decided to let it slow cook over night, and the results were amazing! Pulling the pork came with great ease the meat was so tender. We decided to do it again, and again the pork is ready to fall off the bones. I was inspired to add the apple cider vinegar after reading this post from Kitchen Meets Girl.
You can used the pulled pork for tacos, enchiladas, soups, sandwiches and more!
The Verdict: In the original recipe, the apple cider vinegar was too strong for the kids, so I reduced it in this recipe. They had no problems eating it with the barbeque sauce of course!
