What's For Dinner Wednesday: Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork Tacos

Looking for another easy recipe to serve to your hungry Super Bowl party guests? Look no further than these salsa verde pork tacos!

The combo of tangy and spicy jarred salsa verde along with fresh onions and jalapenos give the pork a really unique flavor. Slow cooking it for several hours makes it perfect for shredding and serving in tortillas.


This recipe could not be easier and is perfect for your party: Only a handful of ingredients, very little prep work, and they all go right into your slow cooker to cook all day. And that's all you have to do! Set up a bar of taco toppings and let your guests assemble their own. Done and done!


Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs. canola oil
  • 2 lbs. pork (tenderloin or shoulder), trimmed and cut into large chunks
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into large dice
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, ribs removed, and diced
  • 16 oz. jar good quality salsa verde *I used Herdez brand
  • Tortillas and taco toppings, for serving

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and add to pan. Sear pork on all sides until browned and add to a slow cooker. Add onion, peppers, and salsa to the slow cooker and cook on low, stirring occasionally, for 8 hours.

Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with forks. Add back to the slow cooker and combine with the remaining sauce. Keep warm until ready to serve in tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
