Servings: 10 serving
Ingredients
- 2-3 pound pork butt/shoulder
Blended sauce
- 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 1/4 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 2 chilies from adobo sauce add more for heat
- 2 dried ancho peppers, stems & seeds removed
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- salt to taste
Instructions
- First, cut the dried chilies and remove the stems and seeds. Then, bring a pot of water to a boil and add in the onion, dried chilies and garlic. Boil for about 15 minutes to allow the chilies to rehydrate and to soften the onions and garlic.
- Now, drain the water from the boiled ingredients. Add to a blender with the tomato sauce, adobo sauce and peppers. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the contents into the crockpot. Then, add in brown sugar, oregano and salt. There are no measurements for the salt because that will depend on the size of the pork butt so adjust to taste.
- Cook the pork butt on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. When the pulled pork is finished you can easily shred it.
- Allow to cool a bit before making the tacos. Before making the tacos be sure to do your final taste for salt after shredding the pork.
