Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas? Okay – for those of you who know me- you know that I have a SERIOUS OBSESSION with pulled meat. Like – no joke – I can’t get enough. I CRAVE it in the worst way. I can’t explain it. I don’t think it has anything to do with anemia or anything like that because it’s really only pulled meat – especially pork – that I can’t get enough of. It’s the best & worst unsatistifiable craving EVER! It’s bad – I’m telling you. So you can imagine the squeal that came out of me when the hubs came home from Costco with some pork sirloin tip roasts. I was beyond happy & couldn’t wait to pop a couple in the slow cooker & make some amazing food. The first recipe – Salsa Pulled Pork Tacos. My eyes were rolling to the back of my head with each bite. I was in pulled pork heaven.
Just look at that!!! Isn’t it GORGEOUS?!!!!!
Oh my – it’s killing me that I’m now out of pork. I see a trip to Costco in my near furture. I NEED more of this. It’s truly incredible & I’m ready to drool on my keyboard just looking at it. Did I mention I have an insatiable craving for it?? Oh – and it couldn’t be more simple to make. YAY!
Ingredients
- 5 lbs pork sirloin tip roast (sold at Costco in a 4 pack of 2.5 ounce roasts)

- 4 sweet peppers - sliced
- 2 cups salsa
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp minced onions
- salt/pepper to taste
- Taco pairings - tortillas, re-fried beans, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream - anything you like to add to your tacos
Instructions
- Combine pork, beer, peppers, salsa, onions, garlic & seasonings to slow cooker.
- Cook on high for a minimum of 8 hours - stirring & turning meat ever few hours
- *Note- all slow cookers cook differently - watch your time as you get closer to that 8 hour mark. It may cook faster.
- You will know the meat is done when it falls apart when pierced with a fork
- Remove meat & shred in large bowl
- Add to your tacos with your favorite taco ingredients.
So what did I pair with it???
I had the other Crock Pot going at the same time making these Restaurant Style Refried Beans.
This Black Bean & Corn Salad was great on the side.
How about using it in these Turkey Quesadillas??

Oooh, these look amazing! My husband and I have a serious love of tacos, but I’ve never tried pulled pork tacos at home. Must change that soon! Found you at the Work It Wednesday party!
Love carnitas! We take Taco Tuesdays very seriously in my house. I am sure your pulled pork will be a Tuesday night hit. Pinning.
