Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos

Can you say YUMMY!? these were amazing. I got them off a blog called Can You Stay For Dinner- I've blogged about her before- she's awesome!

Anyway, I tried my hand at the pulled pork yesterday and it was amazingly easy and delicious!

The full link is here, with pictures and all- I forgot to take some :( The sight also has the calories and nutrition info- sweet, right?!

Anyway, all the recipe calls for is:

1 lb pork tenderloin, or chicken
1 15 oz can tomato sauce, or one 12oz jar salsa
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced

Place pork in the base of your slow cooker. In a small bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients. Pour evenly over pork. Cook on low for 8 hours. When done, shred the pork using two forks, pulling against the grain of the meat.

You can eat them as tacos- OR nachos, like I did- YUM! These are going to be made again soon! I love crock pot recipes AND it's a fairly inexpensive, low calorie meal! Doesnt get much better than that. I only wish I made enough for lunch today :D Next time for sure!

Oh and if you are wondering- John loved them too :D
