A flavorful and easy-to-make slow cooker pulled pork recipe, perfect for tacos or sandwiches.
Prepare the pork shoulder by trimming excess fat and cutting it into large chunks.
Cutting the pork into chunks helps it cook evenly and absorb the seasoning better.
Place the pork chunks into the slow cooker.
Arrange the pork in a single layer for even cooking.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the pork.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced jalapeño to the slow cooker.
Chop the vegetables into small pieces to help them cook down and blend with the pork.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature and moisture.
Shred the pork using two forks and mix it with the juices in the slow cooker.
Shredding the pork in the juices ensures it stays moist and flavorful.
Add lime juice and chopped cilantro to the shredded pork and mix well.
Adding lime juice and cilantro at the end brightens the flavor of the dish.
Serve the pulled pork in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Warm the tortillas before serving for the best texture and flavor.
