Smoky Pork Tinga Tacos Slow Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Spread potatoes over bottom of a slow cooker and top with pork. In a large bowl, mix the undrained tomatoes with the chipotles, chipotle canning sauce, worcestershire, oregano, garlic, optional onion and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the meat and potatoes. Cover and slow cook on high for 6 hours.
• When you are ready to eat, fry the optional chorizo in a medium skillet until thoroughly done, about 4 minutes. Uncover the pork tinga and spoon off any fat that has accumulated on top. Sprinkle on the chorizo, then stir everything together, breaking the pork into smaller pieces (sized for wrapping in tortilla's).
• If there is a lot of liquid, tip it off and boil it rapidly until reduced and syrupy, then stir it back into the meat mixture.
• Taste & season with additional salt if you think it needs it.
• Serve with warm tortillas, crumbled fresh cheese & avocado.
• Note: If you do not have a slow cooker, it says you can do this in a medium sized heavy pot. Lay pork in the pot, top with potatoes, cover with tomato mixture, set lid in place and braise in a 300 degree oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until pork is completely tender.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook for 5 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the spices and cook for 1 min more. Add the mince, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and stir until cooked through.
• Stir the passata and barbecue sauce into the pan along with 4 tbsp water. Increase the heat and allow the sauce to bubble and reduce until it clings to the meat. Add the beans, season and cook for a further 2 mins, then stir in the coriander. Heat the tacos following pack instructions.
• Use the pork and bean mix to fill the tacos, top with slices of avocado, shredded iceberg lettuce and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Add white vinegar and mix spices together, dissolving the achiote paste. Then, add the mango or pineapple juice.
• In your crock pot, lay down a layer of sliced onions.
• Pour in just enough of the marinade to cover the bottom of the crock pot. Then, place your meat into the crock pot.
• Pour the rest of the marinade into the crock pot, completely coating the meat.
• Lay the remainder of the sliced onions on top of the meat.
• Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 10 hours or overnight.
• Remove the tender cooked meat from the crock pot, leaving the juices in the crock pot. Then, shred the meat and return to the crock pot. Combine the meat and juices well.
• Serve meat in soft, warm tortillas alongside desired garnishes of choice. (Garnish: Diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime wedges and salsa)

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken thighs, crushed tomatoes, garlic, chipotle chiles and adobo sauce, tomato paste, vegetable oil, bay leaf, oregano, cumin and half the onion. (Reserve the other half for serving.) Stir to combine and season with 2 teaspoons of salt. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender, about 6 hours.
• About 15 minutes before serving, turn the heat to high and stir in the corn kernels, onion powder and lime juice. Cook until the corn is warmed through, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, if using tortillas, warm them.
• Remove and discard the bay leaf. Using two forks, coarsely shred the chicken. Taste the tinga and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve the tinga on tortillas or tostadas, topped with the remaining sliced onion, the crema and the avocado.
