Helpful Tips:
- If you plan to re-heat and serve the pork for multiple meals, skim the fat off the top of the remaining liquid in the slow cooker and save the liquid in the refrigerator. Pour the liquid onto leftover pork prior to re-heating.
- For a lighter option, switch out flour or corn tortillas for lettuce wraps.
- You can also make this in a multi-cooker using the “Slow Cook” setting and following the same instructions.
