Ingredients
BBQ RUB
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon Ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon Ground chipotle chili pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
PORK
- 7 pounds Bone-in pork butt
- 5 cups Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
PEACH BBQ SAUCE

- ¼ cup Barbeque sauce
- 1½ teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
TACOS
- 8 Flour soft taco shells
- 2 cups Prepared coleslaw
Instructions
- Mix the rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Rub the entire roast with spice rub and place fat side up in the slow cooker.
- Pour beef broth into a slow cooker and add vinegar.
- Cover and cook on high for 7-8 hours or until meat falls off the bone.
- Remove pork from the slow cooker and place on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Using two forks, shred pork, removing excess fat and bone.
- Make the BBQ Sauce by pureeing all ingredients together in a food processor.
- Lay each taco shell on a flat surface. Place 4 oz of pulled pork in the center of the taco shell. Drizzle the peach bbq sauce on top of pork.
- Place 1/4 cup of coleslaw on top of the pork. Fold and serve.
Christina's Notes
- Fresh Citrus Juice: Fresh lime wedges or oranges add a burst of fresh citrus juice flavor. Orange juice, lime juice or pineapple juice works well too for this Mexican pulled pork.
- Cheese: Use crumbled cotija or shredded jack cheese. To melt, place the cheese on the carnitas and put in a warm oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Double the Recipe: Proportionately increase the ingredients to serve at a party. Top the slow cooker carnitas recipe with fresh chopped cilantro.
- Alternate Cooking Method: Cook the tacos with pulled pork in the Instant pot or pressure cooker. Manual setting on high heat for 1 hour. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
- Dietary Consideration: Make these pork tacos gluten free by using a gluten free tortilla or make it dairy free by cutting out the cheese in this pulled pork recipe.
- Crispy: After shredding, crisp up the juicy carnitas! Sear in a hot cast iron skillet with some of the rendered fat to make it golden brown.
- Low and Slow: If you want to cook on low, increase the cook time by an hour or two.
- Pulled Pork Taco Assembly: Pulled pork tacos toppings can include avocado, sour cream, pickled red onion, corn salsa, pico de gallo, hot sauce or pickle relish.
- Other Meat: If you don't eat pork, try making slow cooker shredded beef or tender and juicy chicken.
