“This hearty entree is delicious and easy to simmer in a slow cooker all day long. Sometimes, instead of using tortillas, I place the pork on top of shredded lettuce for a tasty salad.” —Lisa Glogow, Aliso VIejo, California

Good flavor! We also added shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole and salsa on top. While it was good with the toppings, it was almost too much...hid the flavor of the meat.

This is a really great recipe! Everyone always asks us to cook this or beg for the recipe! I love how little the prep time is too. I can just start my slow cooker in the morning and by the time we get off work this delicious meal is all ready to go! Love love love this recipe!

This rating is for my info only. Obviously everyone really likes this, so it's either me or my crockpot, but I didn't taste any flavor in of the meat. Next time I'll try a recipe in the oven.

This was fabulous! I will certainly make again. I save some of the juices for making chili as well. Yummy!

This was a huge hit with my hubby and four teenagers! I heated the flour tortillas in a dry skillet to give them a little crunch. We just added raw sliced onion, shredded lettuce, and sour cream as toppings. Yum!

This is a new family favorite! I only used 1 can of chilies to cut down on the heat and all chicken broth. It was delicious! My hubby at the leftovers for 4 days straight!

THis recipe is high on my list. I made this for our tailgate party at the OU game. Everyone said it was to die for! Now I am making it to take to a party. The only thing I added was juice of half a lime. And use the Tequila! I put it in the coker at 11pm and let it cook all night. The aroma when we woke up was sensational! Very easy to prepare and the reward is great!
