Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, select a shoulder roast or pork butt. These cuts are well-marbled and flavorful, and they hold up well to long cooking times.
  • Sear the pork before slow cooking: Searing the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pork will add a lot of flavor to the final dish. Choose a flavorful broth, such as chicken or beef broth, or a combination of juices, such as apple juice and orange juice.
  • Add spices and seasonings: Season the pork generously with spices and seasonings before cooking. Common spices and seasonings used for pulled pork include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it on low and slow. Cook the pork for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding. This will help the juices redistribute and make the pork easier to shred.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. It can be served on its own, with tortillas and salsa, or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. No matter how you choose to serve it, Tex-Mex pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
