I love these tacos because they are delicious and made in a crock-pot! Normally, when I make pork tacos it’s during the warmer months and I’ll let a beautiful pork shoulder go low and slow for hours on the grill. But, with winter in full swing I needed to come up with an option that could cook indoors and while I was at work. Thus, my crock-pot. These tacos taste just as good as my summer time slow roasted ones, but they’re way less maintenance…a big win in my book! Give these a try the next time a taco craving hits!
