Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

When I know I have a busy day in front of me, I often use my slow cooker as my go-to kitchen appliance to get dinner on the table without a lot of fuss. Just toss the ingredients in and forget about it. From stews to pot roast, the slow cooker makes cooking easy. This morning, after I fed my family breakfast, I spent about 15 minutes seasoning chunks of pork, searing them in a frying pan, and then adding it and a few other ingredients to a slow cooker. 

Eight hours later, we were eating tender pulled pork tacos. All I had to do (aside from the pork), was to heat some corn tortillas and cut some kale, tomatoes, and avocados. Everyone assembled their own tacos, and I was relieved to have not spent too much time in the kitchen. Pulled pork can be used as a taco, burrito or sandwich filling.  It can also be used over nachos, in salads, or over rice.  However you like to eat it, this recipe is a cinch to pull together, and you'll be happy to have let your slow cooker do most of the work. Enjoy!
