“This delicious recipe is my copy-cat version of the most excellent Mexican food we ever had in Flagstaff, Arizona. The original recipe used beef instead of pork, but this comes mighty close to the same taste.” —Ariella Winn, Mesquite, Texas

Wow, these were great! I added a can of pinto beans for texture and fiber. My daughter ate her serving spooned over crushed tortilla chips and that was really good too. I will definately make these again.

This was SO yummy! I put it together last night and put it in the fridge, then put it in the crockpot and turned it on...so easy and delicious! My family LOVED it too! The only changes I made...I just used a whole packet of taco seasoning mix and I added 1/2 an onion (because I needed to use it up!) We loved it and are happy there are leftovers! :)

So easy to make and we all loved it (especially my husband). We did eat the meat on flour tortillas because we like them better than corn.

My fiancee is in love with this recipe. When I ask him what he wants for dinner he always says "Those pork taco things!" I have never had such an easy recipe taste so delicious. We even use the leftovers to make tamales or chile rellenos. Absolutely incredible. Highly recommend.

These were simple and amazing! Hands down the best tacos I've ever made. And the leftovers reheat wonderfully and make great nachos. This is the only taco recipe I will be using from now on. Thank you!

My husband raved about these! I have served them on tostada shells, whole wheat flour tortillas and corn tortillas - they are a hit every time!
