Chile Lime Pulled Pork Tacos

 My husband and I LOVE Mexican food.
Unfortunately the area in which we live is not known for its southern cuisine and in no way fulfills our all too frequent cravings for good authentic Mexican cuisine. So we have spent the last 4 years of marriage perfecting our taco recipe, slowly making it more and more...well... amazing!...and authentic.
I think we are finally satisfied with this combination.

 Eat your heart out Chipotle...
Chile Lime Pulled Pork
1-2 lb pork roast
1 1/2 Tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1-2 Tbs fresh lime juice (1/2 lime)

In medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients and cilantro to create a dry rub. Place pork roast in bowl and coat with dry rub. Cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 hours (you don't have to marinate it if you don't have time).
Place in crock pot, drizzle with lime juice and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours. Pork will fall apart when poked with a fork when done. :-) Pulled apart with fork.

Serve with Black Bean and Corn Quinoa, fresh tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, lime, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and homemade flour tortillas 

simple
inexpensive
 healthy...


and DELIGHTFUL
