Steps:
- For the pulled pork: In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, coriander, salt and oregano. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork roast.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork roast and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker, combine the onion, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce, beer, and orange zest. Add the browned roast along with any pan juices. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 6 hours.
- When the pork is cooked and fork tender, shred it using two forks. Add the shredded meat back to the slow cooker and toss with the onions and cooking juices. Keep warm in the slow cooker for people to help themselves and assemble the tacos with all the garnishes.

Steps:
- Place the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix.
- Place the pork shoulder in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) and rub all over with the seasoning mixture.
- Pour the jar of salsa around the pork shoulder.
- Cook on low heat for 8-12 hours.
- Remove the pork to a plate and using 2 forks, shred the into bite size pieces (I like to remove the visible pieces of fat).
- Pour a scoop or two of the juices into the pork and stir to combine (If you want to remove the excess fat from the juice you will use, pour it into a cup and refrigerate it until the fat solidifies and can be easily scooped out. Only the juices will remain).
- Place the pork into the tortillas.
- Serve with desired accompaniments.

ASIAN INSPIRED PULLED PORK SHOULDER (FOR TACOS OR SLIDERS)
Recipe is for a crock pot! Delish and easy! This is based off of a traditional Char Siu sauce, but true to my nature I can never leave well enough alone! I modified this recipe a lot. I just couldn't help myself. Also, the meat is usually prepared over fire or roasted, but I really wanted to find a recipe that worked well in a slow cooker and I think I accomplished that by making my mods. Hope you like it too! ENJOY!

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan add the following items: hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, ½ cup of water, sesame oil, mirin, shaoxing rice wine, lemongrass fresh, ginger, garlic, and the Chinese five spice powder.
- Whisk together. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting and set the pan with the rest of the sauce on the stove over low hit to thicken. About 30 min, whisking occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Place onion chunks in bottom of crock pot and set as low. Salt and pepper the pork on both sides and place on top of the onions.
- Baste top and sides of pork with the reserved sauce. Add the lid and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-5 hours on high. You will know it's done when it is falling apart. YUM!
- Add the cooled Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction to a magic bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Will keep in fridge for 2 weeks.
- I use this for Asian pork tacos or pulled pork sliders. Serve either one topped with shredded green and purple cabbage, thinly slices quick-pickled radishes and cucumbers, green onion, cilantro and basil. Dress with a drizzle of spicy sriracha aioli and a drizzle of the Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction.

ESCABECHE PULLED PORK TACOS WITH LOCO ORANGE SLAW
This is my version of a street taco. The spiced pork has all the traditional Mexican spices that I love. I just had to try it with My Loco Orange Coleslaw. This turned out to be a wicked combination that I will make again. I originally wanted to cook the pork on the grill to add another layer of flavor, but my weatherman has...

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Boston butt or pork shoulder is best for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will break down during cooking and make the meat tender and juicy.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork and create a delicious crust. There are many different rub recipes available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Cook the pork low and slow: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it low and slow, which will allow the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender. You can cook it in a smoker, a slow cooker, or even in the oven.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, it should be shredded. You can use two forks to shred the meat, or you can use a meat shredder.
- Make the tacos: To make the tacos, simply fill a tortilla with shredded pork, your favorite toppings, and salsa. You can also add sour cream, guacamole, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a taco that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give pulled pork tacos a try.
