Whether for a backyard summer party, or an easy weeknight dinner, this recipe will turn any meal into a fiesta. Fresh and flavorful green chilis + tangy salsa verde and limes make this pork so juicy, so delicious and fall apart tender.
It’s amazing to me how you can get such a yummy, flavor filled dish with literally such minimal effort. Dump in in the slow cooker, and let it go to work for 3-4 hours, and violá, dinner for a crowd, or the answer to your meal prepping prayers.
The last time we made this recipe we made tacos and it was glorious. I filled the table with sides of cotija cheese, pickled jalapeños, shredded lettuce, fresh cilantro, guacamole, hot sauce and we went to town.
But you can do so much with this pork. In fact, we went on to use the leftovers in taco bowls, in a salad, in quesadillas, and even in a big batch of sheet pan nachos. You can’t go wrong!
