Chipotle and Orange Pork Tacos

Another Tasty Kitchen recipe trial and success! I needed an easy slow-cooker recipe and found this one that looked delicious so I had to try it out. Turns out it's my husband's new favorite taco recipe!

All you have to do is zest and juice two oranges.

Then put the orange juice and zest in the crock pot, followed by the seared pork and then spread the garlic and chopped chipotles with adobo sauce on the meat. Cover and cook for 6 hours.

After the pork has cooked, take it out and start pulling it apart with a fork.

Grab some corn tortillas and make your masterpiece! I combined diced red onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice to put on top of the tacos, along with sliced avocado. Delicious!
