This recipe will rival your local mexican restaurant and I promise it’s just as easy as takeout! It’s a crockpot recipe for goodness sake which means all you have to do is throw all the ingredients in the pot & you’ve got yourself a meal.
This recipe is also ideal for freezing. You can make completely in advance and freeze, or freeze all of the ingredients in a freezer safe container & dump into the crockpot frozen when you are ready to cook. I’m looking at you soon to me, mama. Fill your freezer with easy, nourishing recipes like this one!
The recipe calls for a pork shoulder or butt. This cut of pork is what is typically used for things like pork carnitas or pulled pork. Cooking this low & slow in your crockpot is going to result in some very tender, pull apart, melt in your mouth peices of pork.
You can sub in a pork roast if needed. The chunks will hold shape and be less pull apart, but the flavor will be magnificent!
