Slow Cooker Mexican Pork is some of the best pulled pork you can make at home. On its own, stuffed into tacos or burritos, or served over rice, the pork is slightly spicy, with just enough heat to keep it interesting.

The Mexican spices infuse the pork roast as it simmers in the crock-pot; meaning that with very little effort you can have dinner on the table.

I’ve made this pork countless times over the past ten years. After I made this the first time and served the pork in burrito bowls; I couldn’t resist trying my hand at the taquitos that I’ve included below.

In the past, I’ve used a sirloin tip pork roast for this recipe, but any pork you enjoy will work. An 8-10 lb pork shoulder works nicely when cooking for a crowd or when you want to have an abundance of pulled pork on hand.

Leftover pulled pork freezes beautifully. Once the meat is cooked and shredded, let it cool then store it in an airtight bag. Let it thaw completely in the refrigerator prior to reheating.

Use the Slow Cooker Mexican Pork to make Pulled Pork Tacos, Red Chile Burritos, Quesadillas, or Pulled Pork Enchiladas for easy make-ahead meals.

I highly recommend multiplying this recipe for the largest amount of pork you can fit in your crock-pot. Trust me that you will want to have a lot of leftovers.
