Best thing is that these tacos are crazy easy to make, especially in a slow cooker. You just rub a pork shoulder roast with a blend of spices, and then slow cook until meat falls apart tender. Use a couple forks to pull it apart into tasty shreds and use the meat as a filling for our special tacos.
