Mexican Style Shredded Pork

“This is an amazing shredded pork recipe similar to what you would eat in a rice bowl (or in an enchilada) at a Mexican restaurant. It is easy to prepare and simmers in a slow cooker all day, ready to enjoy when you arrive home. I serve it over rice (laced with lime juice and fresh cilantro), Cheddar cheese, salsa, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. Amazing!”

Such an easy recipe! I cooked the boneless pork loin overnight on low. I used a chipotle hot sauce with only one can of green chiles (all I had). Ate mine as a burrito filling with sour cream and cheddar cheese. Will make again. Very easy to prepare. Made a lot of meat.

This is really, really good. I can't believe how easy it was to make, and what a great flavor it had. We ate this as a rice bowl, it was better than anything similar we've had in restaurants. I followed the recipe as written, I was able to find the chipotle sauce, which I think does need to be included here -- gave it a nice kick and flavor. Can't say enough good things about this! :-)

This pork dish is easy, delicious and has a fabulous taste, with a hint of Caribbean flavor. I cooked it in a covered dish in the oven with the same results, served it with the cilantro-lime rice, along with chili rellano casserole, chicken enchiladas and many other condiments. Some guests made fajitas, some made burritos and others ate it as it was over rice. I used this website for ideas for my husband's 60th Birthday and everything was a hit! I served out all of the recipes with every guest and then some!

I added a little chopped onion to this. When it was cooked and the pork shredded I placed all in a saucepan, added more water and a little cornstarch to thicken. I serve this over bean/beef burritos with shredded lettuce, Mexican 4 cheese, black olives and chopped tomatoes. My husband says this is the best burrito sauce ever!

I made this for a mexican themed party we had, it was delicious, and really like what I had in a restaurant. My guests who dont care for "hot", and those who do liked it equally.

Amazing! I will definitely be making this often...easy & tasty. I also could not find chipotle sauce so I used Lawry's "Baja Chipotle w/ lime" marinade. We served the pork over rice and made soft tacos w/ it. Awesome!

This was really good after I followed the recipe as it was written. I tried to make it without the Chipolte Sauce and found it was tasteless. (Made a special trip to the store and added it in at the end of the cooking time - is this why so many neg reviews? No Chipoltle sauce?). I also added the Cilantro and lime juice after the rice was cooked. Served the pork on top of the rice and layered homemade salsa, guac, cheese and sour cream on top. Put the bottle of Chipoltle sauce on the table for those who like it a little hotter. Definately *****

The meat was bland. It was also dry despite allowing it to absorb the liquid after shredding it. Due to the expense of the pork loin I can't recommend this recipe - it just wasn't worth it. I'm disappointed because it sounded good plus I like using my crockpot but this recipe didn't measure up.

Disappointing. I loved using the slow cooker and loved the fact that it was almost "fat free", but it was bland and the pork was chewy. I would give it two stars, but my husband liked it a bit better. It is expensive to make, so I want to love it. We did add some taco seasoning when we re-heated. Will probably try to use some as enchilada filling. I wonder if meat this lean just doesn't work well in the slow cooker?

This was tasting somewhat bland, so I doctored it up with a little vinegar, brown sugar, and chili sauce. Also, I couldn't find chipotle sauce, so I used my hot sauce from the pantry, instead. Turned out pretty good. The lime juice in the rice gave it a uniqueness, which I believe I'll incorporate in other rice dishes. Very tasty!

I couldn't find chipotle sauce and ended up using chipotle salsa instead. I increased it to 1/2 cup but it did not turn out very spicey. Will spice up the meat more the next time. The meat was tender but I had to increase the cooking time to at least 8 1/2 hours on low. It did not yield enough sauce for my taste so for left overs I will add a can of spicy enchilada sauce. My husband did not like the rice with the lime juice I did not mind it so much but I will serve it with spanish rice the next time. Overall it was good but not nearly spicy enough for our taste.

This was great! Very easy. My 10-, 15-, and 18-year old kids all liked it, too! I doubled the recipe for my family of 5. Made quite a bit. Enjoying the leftovers. I fixed it just like the recipe said. Love the chipotle sauce - mmmmgood. I found the chipotle sauce in the Mexican foods area of my local grocer. Since I'm an onion lover, I put chopped onions on top when serving it - great! Didn't have the quacamole, but would like to try it next time. I can imagine this filling in an enchilada, tamale, burrito. We've also made some quesadillas with the filling - quick snack or meal. At first I thought this might be too hot for my kids, but it wasn't. I love HOT/spicy stuff so I bought a fresh jalepeno to chop up to sprinkle on top. mmmmm. You ought to try this one!
