Skip to contentJump to Recipe - Print RecipeSometimes the simplest recipes can be the most satisfying! Slow Cooker Pork Tacos require only 3 ingredients for the filling and this recipe includes a twist on the usual dollop of sour cream. In about 10 minutes of effort, you can cook a large batch of savory shredded pork to serve for several meals!Pork tacos and carnitas are very similar styles of pork dishes since both types of meat are slow-cooked in a sealed container with a liquid ingredient. Both carnitas and the taco-pork come from pork shoulder or pork butt – the same cuts used for pulled pork.So, what’s the difference? Carnitas, or “little meats,” is a style of serving pork by searing it first, then cooking it in a combination of acidic juices from lime, lemon, or orange. In this recipe, slow cooker pork tacos will utilize pork that is slow-cooked and flavored with a beer (much lower acidity) and a mild taco seasoning.Carnitas usually have an extra veggie, pepper, or onion added as well. Both meats are used in tacos, so it may be a matter of semantics, but I would sum it up by saying the flavors can be quite different!*Check out my take on Street Tacos with Slow Cooker Carnitas here!All you need for tasty, fall-apart shredded pork? A pork shoulder roast, taco seasoning, and a light beer. Plus, a unique sour cream mix!For the pork:And for the sour cream, you’ll need:Start by placing the pork in the slow cooker (should be at least a 5-quart size). Rub in the taco seasoning to cover only the top half of the pork. Then, pour in the beer around the bottom of the slow cooker making sure it doesn’t fill higher than halfway up the pork.Note: Beer adds additional flavor and helps break down the pork to make it tender. However, you can swap the beer with broth instead.Cover and cook on low for at least 8 hours. If you need the pork to cook faster, cut it into smaller chunks before adding it to the slow cooker. For easy shredding, use an instant-read thermometer to be sure it reaches an internal temperature of 205 ℉.After cooking, remove the juices from the slow cooker and reserve about ½ a cup.Shred pork with two forks and add back a little bit of the juices at a time. You will want the pork to be juicy, but not completely soaked in liquid.Finally, with a spoon, mix together sour cream with adobo sauce from the canned chipotle peppers. Serve the shredded pork on your favorite taco shells and drizzle with adobo sour cream. Top with a few slices of jalapeño, a squeeze of lime juice, or any of your other favorite toppings!Slow Cooker Pork Tacos are a twist on classic tacos and I like to keep the toppings simple!
