This recipe for Chipotle Pork in a Slow Cooker makes meat that is tender and full of flavor, great for a variety of dishes. Because it is cooked slowly, the pork stays juicy and is easy to shred. The chipotle peppers add a smoky heat.
Ingredients: 3 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed. 1 onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup chicken broth. 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced. 1 tablespoon adobo sauce. 1 tablespoon ground cumin. 1 tablespoon dried oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Place pork shoulder in the slow cooker. In a bowl, mix together onion, garlic, chicken broth, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the pork shoulder. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix well with the cooking juices. Serve the shredded chipotle pork in tacos, burritos, salads, or sandwiches.
