Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lb. pork tenderloin ((2-2.5 lbs. is best, may need two tenderloins for this))
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 - 2 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, finely chopped ((about 1 Tbsp., can use 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder instead))
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup light beer (OPTIONAL) ( (I use pacifico or corona))
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place pork tenderloins in crock-pot and sprinkle with spices. Add chilis, lime juice, and orange juice.
  • Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high for about 4 hours. Pork should be easily shreddable when done.
  • Use two forks to shred pork, adjust seasoning level if desired and simmer another half hour.
  • Preheat broiler and transfer shredded pork to a baking sheet, spread out in a medium-thin layer, leaving any juices in the crock-pot.
  • Broil on low for about 5 minutes until it starts to get crisp but is not burnt or dried out. Remove pork and toss with reserved cooking liquid to moisten.
  • Stir in fresh cilantro and serve with taco fixings or over Mexican flavored rice. Taco fixing ideas: pickled red onions, queso fresco, salsa, cheese, lime, guacamole, tomato, lettuce, black olives or whatever else you prefer.
