SLOW COOKER GREEN CHILI PORK TACOS

Ingredients
1 (5 pound) pork roast
1 (16 oz.) bottle salsa verde (green salsa)
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
Corn tortillas

Directions
Place pork loin in slow cooker. Mix together salsa verde and lime juice and pour over roast.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.  Meanwhile, mix together onion and cilantro in a small bowl; refrigerate.  About one hour before serving, remove pork from slow cooker and shred with two forks.  Return to slow cooker, and stir in about 1/2 cup of the onion and cilantro mixture. To serve, place pork mixture into corn tortillas.  Top with onion and cilantro mixture and chopped tomatoes.

Let's Dish
This is so simple and easy, but so good!  My husband prefers flour tortillas, but I like these tacos better with corn tortillas.  Either way is fine though.  And of course, you could always serve it with additional taco toppings, like cheese, sour cream or guacamole. I usually chop the onion and cilantro in a food processor to make things even easier.   You could also use this as a burrito filling (definitely go with flour tortillas in that case) with the addition of some rice and beans.

Who Dished It Up First
I'm sure I'm not the first person to dump a jar of salsa over a pork roast in a slow cooker, but as far as I know, this is an original recipe.

  6. It's pretty standard fare in New Mexico. You put green chile and/or salsa verde on just about everything from pork roast to pizza! But no doubt, this is a tasty combo! Especially with some fresh avocados, scallions, and tomatoes!

  7. We love the flavor combination of these, but I have a question. Is there supposed to be a LOT of liquid when the meat is finished (it causes the shells to break in half) and if not, how do I get it to thicken up?? Thanks!! =)
