Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. pork shoulder roast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 ts[ ground cumin

- 2 limes, halved and juiced
- 1 cup cilantro leaves divided
- 12 corn tortillas or 8 soft taco flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 2 avocados seeded and sliced
- Juice from 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork in the base of the slow cooker with enough water to just cover the bottom. (The water is to help create an extra moist environment inside the slow cooker, to help make the meat more tender.)
- Season the meat with garlic and cumin, salt and pepper. Squeeze the limes over top and add into the slow cooker. Add a little cilantro. Set on low and cook for 8 hours.
- About an hour before serving, remove the lime halves and shred the meat with 2 forks. Let cook in the juice until ready to serve.
- Prepare the avocado, cabbage, etc.
- Assemble the tacos by adding some shredded pork, shredded cabbage, slice or two of avocado, some chopped cilantro, salt and pepper into each tortilla.
- Serve Shredded Pork Verde Tacos with side of fresh fruit or veggies. (We had them with corn.)
