We shared these flavor-packed tacos with friends from church who came over to help us move. They're so good, I put them on my blog, manilaspoon.com! The slow cooker makes this recipe extra easy, and I love that whenever I make it, I'm reminded of the wonderful people back in Michigan.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin

- 1-1/4 cups water
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 bone-in pork shoulder roast (6 to 7 pounds)
- 24 corn tortillas (6 inches) or taco shells, warmed
- optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped tomato, onion, cilantro and lime wedges
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix first 9 ingredients. Place onions in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Place roast over onions; pour salsa mixture over roast. Cook, covered, on low until pork is tender, 8-10 hours.
- Remove roast and discard bone. Shred pork with 2 forks. Serve in tortillas with toppings as desired.
