Things to do with leftover pork I: pork tacos

A ton of pork and a few poblanos from the garden, along with the threat of taco night (for months I've been dreaming of taco night) added up nicely to shredded pork tacos.


I threw the pork into the crockpot with chopped onion, tomatillos, poblanos, two cans of chopped green chilis, some cumin and garlic, and a bit of chicken stock. The deliciousness cooked overnight on medium, and I strained it before dinner to get rid of excess liquid and fat. (Next time, no liquid needs to be added - plenty was released and it was drowning by the end of the day.)

We prepared a few things for the tacos -- cabbage, sauteed peppers and onions, super sharp cheddar, bean sprouts, cilantro, sour cream, lime, and guacamole -- grabbed a few corn tacos, and dinner was done.
