Caribbean Pork Tacos

Caribbean Pork Tacos are bursting with flavor and make a wonderful family meal. The pork is coated in jerk seasoning and slow cooked in a crock pot with onion, orange slices, and beef broth until tender.

Once cooked, the meat is a cinch to shred, making taco assembly wonderfully easy.

I always like the taste of pork topped with a creamy coleslaw and I think coleslaw is a wonderful addition to a taco. I added jalapeno and cilantro to flavor the mayo-based coleslaw for these tacos.

And then I added fresh diced mango to the tacos to give a sweet compliment to all the spices.

I think a good taco should be full of lots of spicy components, but I like a taco better when there is a sweet element involved too.

The pork can easily be cooked a day, or even 2 or 3 days in advance. This is a great meal to get started on a lazy Sunday afternoon when you are puttering around the house all afternoon. It can then be refrigerated to use for a quick and easy meal later in the week.

I don’t know about you, but when I have done a little meal prep over the weekend, the week always seems to go a little more smoothly.

I love how easy a crock pot makes this recipe. The meat comes out supremely tender and is super easy to shred with a fork. I’ve been using the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker since my old crock pot that I had received as a wedding gift bit the dust. I was apprehensive about getting a new crock pot, but I’ve had nothing but good results with my new one.
