Slow Cooker Chipotle Shredded Pork

This slightly spicy and totally flavorful pork is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, salads, casseroles, sandwiches and more.  Besides tasting awesome, it’s one of those recipe where you dump everything in the slow cooker and walk away.   Win-win!

As I walked into the grocery store the other day I found saw a steal of a deal on pork loin.  I haven’t used pork loin all that often but figured I could find a way to use it in the slow cooker.  Turns out I found a GREAT way to use pork loin.  This recipe is super flavorful thanks to chipotles in adobo sauce, onions, garlic, lime juice and kosher salt.  It’s lean as well because pork loin doesn’t have a ton of fat it in.  I cooked the pork until it was really tender and easy to shred.  I took a fork and a knife and easily shredded it up in minutes.  You can serve this pork in so many ways and each way is delicious! This recipe is super easy thanks to the help of your slow cooker!
