Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Tacos

Tacos are popular in our house. Every Tuesday is Taco Tuesday.  Chicken, ground beef and shredded beef tacos are regular but I like to mix in a few varieties once in awhile. I love taco recipes that can be cooked in a slow cooker and ones that freeze well for future dinners – and this recipe does both!

ingredients
3 lb pork roast
olive oil
taco seasoning
1 jar (16 oz) pineapple salsa (Trader Joe’s Pineapple Salsa)
1 can (8.45 fl oz) pineapple juice (Trader Joe’s 100% Pineapple Juice)

fresh pineapple jalapeno salsa
1 cup pineapple
1 T chopped cilantro
1 T chopped jalapeno

tortillas (I prefer half corn half wheat variety)

Directions

1. Heat a pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
2. Liberally coat pork roast with taco seasoning. 
3. Sear pork on all sides until a golden brown color.
4. Remove from pan and place in slow cooker and cover with salsa and pineapple juice. 
5. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours. Cooking time depends on cut of meat – meat should be tender and fall apart.
6. While pork is cooking, make the salsa so that flavors have time to develop.
7. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred. Return shredded meat to slow cooker and mix with juices.
8. Serve pork with tortillas and salsa.
