Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
1 (2-3 pound) pork roast
1 (16 oz.) jar salsa verde
2 (8 oz.) cans crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
1/4 cup brown sugar
1-2 teaspoons chopped jalepeno
Salt and pepper, to taste
Flour tortillas
Favorite taco toppings, such as tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, guacamole, cilantro, etc.
Directions
Place the pork roast in a lightly greased slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine salsa verde, crushed pineapple, green chiles, brown sugar, jalepeno, salt, and pepper. Pour over pork roast. cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours. Remove roast from crock pot and shred with a fork. Drain the juices from the crock pot through a colander. In a bowl, combine the shredded pork and drained pineapple/salsa mixture that remains in the colander. Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.

These reminded me a bit of the Slow Cooker Green Chili Pork tacos I love to make, but I like this pineapple version even better. It's the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. My whole family love these tacos, and no one complained about having leftovers the next day. If you have leftovers and want to make something besides tacos, try quesadillas. Besides being delicious, this is quick to put together. It will definitely become part of the regular rotation at our house.

Is there something productive that could possibly be done with the strained juices from the pork roast? Or is it too fatty to be used as stock?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be too fatty for stock, but it might depend on which cut of pork roast you used.
ReplyDeletePretty much anything that has "pork" and "green chili" in the title is something I'd like! I love the idea of adding pineapple to the mix.
