SLOW COOKER BARBACOA PORK



Slow Cooker Barbacoa Pork image

Sweet and spicy crock pot pork roast. Great way to use the end of a pork loin. Can be served as an entree over cilantro lime rice, or used for nachos or tacos. Found this on the Skinny Taste blog. Prep time includes plenty of time for marinading. Actual active prep time is probably less than 20 minutes total to trim the meat, mix up ingredients for the marinade/sauce and then shred the meat.

Time 23h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 -2 tablespoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon black pepper, divided
2 -3 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
14 -20 ounces Coke zero, divided
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
6 ounces sliced green chilies
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 chipotle chile in adobo, diced
1/8 teaspoon cumin
2 1/2-3 lbs pork loin

Steps:

  • Trim fat from the pork loin.
  • Rub pork with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Seasoning amounts listed are estimates and you may need different amounts to ensure adequate coverage of the meet.
  • Place pork in a pan or large ziploc bag and add 1/4 cup of brown sugar as well as ~6-8 ounces of coke zero, enough so that at least half the pork is submerged in the liquid.
  • Marinate the pork overnight, turning it periodically to let it soak equally on both sides.
  • Place pork and the marinade into a crock pot. Add 1/4 cup water and cook on high for 3-4 hours until it shreds easily.
  • Discard the liquid and let the pork cool slightly and then shred it with forks.
  • To make the sauce, combine 8 ounces Coke zero, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp cumin, green chilies, tomato sauce, chipotle chili in adobo (1 chili was spicy enough for us, but if you want extra spice, may add additional chilies or even some extra chipotle chili powder) and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put shredded pork back in the crockpot with the sauce and cook on high for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Topping suggestions: fruit based salsa (such as mango peach), sour cream, guacamole, shredded Mexican cheese.

SWEET PORK BARBACOA



Sweet Pork Barbacoa image

Slow-cooked pork tenderloin in a very sweet, spicy, smokey, Mexican-inspired sauce. Super easy. Cooks in a crock pot. Great in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and salads!

Provided by Jillster

Categories     Pork

Time 8h10m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 2/3-5 lbs pork tenderloin (buy the leanest looking one you can)
20 ounces Pepsi (not diet)
1 cup brown sugar
7 ounces chipotle chiles in adobo (will only be using the sauce, which provides the spicy and the smokey flavors)
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso)
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Dump peppers into a mesh sieve or strainer, and then holding the sieve over your crock pot, pour the Pepsi through them to get all that delicious sauce into the pot. Discard peppers.(I know it seems like a waste, but adding the peppers will make it too spicy. This small amount of sauce is perfect for the recipe.).
  • Add remaining ingredients and then stir until combined.
  • Trim as much visible fat from the pork as you can.
  • Add the meat to the crock pot.
  • Cook on high for 5 hours.
  • Shred the pork with two forks and then lower the temperature to low, and cook an additional 3 - 4 hours, until the meat is a nice mahogany color.

  • My favorite way to put this meal together is as follows: make a bed of delicious cilantro lime rice (#310516) on a plate. Top with a scoop of black beans and a scoop of sweet pork. Cover with romaine lettuce and drizzle with equal parts Ranch dressing and salsa verde on top.
