Slow Cooker Pork Soft Tacos

Came across this recipe for Slow Cooker Pork Tacos over on the food blog, 5 second rule.  Doesn't this look delicious?  I am planning to fire up the slow cooker with this recipe this week.


Serves 6, with leftovers
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
Salt and pepper
3 pounds pork shoulder (may be called pork butt, which is part of the shoulder)
One 12-ounce jar of your favorite salsa (I use salsa verde)
Corn tortillas, warmed
Any combination of: fresh lime, sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced olives, fresh salsa, cilantro, or beans
Place the onion and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker.  Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper, and lay it atop the vegetables. Pour the salsa over the pork.  Cover, turn slow cooker to low setting, and cook for 9 hours, or longer.  Remove meat to a cutting board and shred with 2 forks.  (You may discard the liquid.)
Serve pork with warm corn tortillas and garnishes of choice.
