Pork Taco Recipe-UPDATED

I promised to post my Pork Taco recipe on here for some family and friends we recently camped with, this recipe can easily be double or tripled for a large group.

Pork Tacos-

2-3 lb Pork Roast (I usually buy at Costco you can buy in a 3-4 pack of this size)

Cook in a crock pot with 4-6 cups of water until it easily shreds (typically 6-8 hours on high).

Drain water add the following to the crock pot-

3/4 c. Brown Sugar
1 can Tomato sauce 8 oz
1 tsp Chili powder
1/4 c. Taco seasoning (or one package)
1/4 tsp Onion Powder or Minced Dried Onions
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder or 1 Fresh Garlic Clove minces
1/4 tsp-1/2 tsp Ground Red Pepper or Cayenne Pepper (I like mine spicy so I use 1/2 tsp)

Let Cook in the Crock Pot another 1/2 hour-1 hour or until hot again.


I use the uncooked tortias from Costco, while I am letting the 2nd side of the toritia cook I like to melt grated cheese, then add the toppings you love, such as-

Guacamole
Spanish or other rice
Salsa
Lettuce
Mango Salsa (see recipe below)


MANGO SALSA

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 1 1/2 cup)
1/4 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 small Avocado diced (optional)
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (Or Just a handful washed and chopped up)
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 bulb Fresh Garlic minced or 2 dashes of garlic powder
1 tsp Chili Powder
3 Tbsp Sugar or Splenda
If you like it hot add a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper.
Salt and pepper to
taste
