Our Slow Cooker Pork Tacos are the perfect weeknight family dinner made with Florida OJ. With minimal prep in the morning, dinner is ready to be served when everyone is home at the end of the day. Simply set out your family’s favorite taco ingredients so each person can customize their meal.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Florida Orange Juice
  • 5 lb. pork shoulder (pork butt), skinless, bone-in
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Your favorite taco toppings

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the pork shoulder, then place in a slow cooker with the fat facing up.
  2. Combine salt, pepper, dried oregano, ground cumin, and olive oil, then pour over the pork shoulder to coat. Rub the spices into the meat.
  3. Top with onion, jalapeño, minced garlic, and Florida Orange Juice.
  4. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 6 hours.
  5. Remove pork from slow cooker when it is tender and falling off the bone. Place on a serving platter and shred the pork using two forks.
  6. Set out with your family’s favorite taco toppings for DIY tacos.

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.
