Pork Tacos with Mango Salsa

image

Description

I've made quite a few tacos in my day, but you can't beat the tender filling made in a slow cooker. These are by far the best pork tacos we've had—and we've tried plenty. Make the mango salsa from scratch if you have time! Yum.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups cubed fresh pineapple
  • 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) dark mexican beer
  • 3 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) mango salsa
  • 24 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • optional: cubed fresh pineapple, chopped avocado and queso fresco

Directions

  1. Puree first 9 ingredients in a blender; stir in beer. In a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker, combine pork and pineapple mixture. Cook, covered, on low until pork is very tender, 6-8 hours. Stir to break up pork.
  2. Stir cilantro into salsa. Using a slotted spoon, serve pork mixture in tortillas; add salsa and toppings as desired.
