Pork Tomo Tacos


So Sindy introduced me to this dish. Green Pork tacos made with tomatillos. You know me I love anything that I can stuff into a corn tortilla. This recipe is pretty easy since you throw it all into a crock pot and let it go for the day. Good food for a crowd or game day. Love it....

Serves: 8-12

1-2 Large Sweet Onions, chopped
1 28oz can Tomatillos, drained
1/2-3/4 C Pickled Jalapenos w/juice, chopped
4-5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
4-5 lbs of Pork Carnita Meat or Pork Shoulder
Salt & Pepper
Corn Tortillas

My Favorite Garnishes:
1 box Zataran's Dirty Rice Mix (Cooked according to box minus the meat)
Pepper Jack/Cheddar Cheese
Cilantro
Fresh Salsa
Green Onions
Tapatio' Hot Sauce

Throw all ingredients into a crock pot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours until meat is tender and shreds when you fork it. When done skim some of the fat/grease off the top and then shred meat in the crock pot with a fork and all the juice. If you don't like it too juicy feel free to skim more of the juice out. Just remember the pork will continue to absorb the juice as it sits. Server with heated corn tortillas and your favorite garnishes...
