Slow Cooker Shredded Pork Tacos!

For a girl who used to not like Mexican food we sure cook it a lot in this house. My family is all shocked by how often I am posting new Mexican recipes, but Matt loves it and helps me come up with new great ones.

That has all the things I like! Anyways, if you want a delicious and fresh dinner that doesn’t take a lot of effort this recipe is the way to go. Leave in in the crockpot, go about your business and then come home to an awesome dinner.

We have found that we like to cook these days because we save money and we think we make better food! Enjoy this!
