These Slow Cooker Pineapple Jalapeno Pork Tacos are a perfect blend of sweet and spicy, and who doesn’t like pulled pork?!

How many ways can I make tacos in the slow cooker? I probably could just have a blog called Slow Cooker Tacos. That actually sounds like a good challenge LOL. I won’t post back to back taco recipes here I promise. This recipe for Slow Cooker Pineapple Jalapeno Pork Tacos is great because it has heat, but also a sweetness to cut the heat down. I love the shoulder cut of pork, if it came down to it and I had nothing to add to a pork shoulder in the crockpot, it still would turn out delicious.

Besides the can of pineapple, everything in this meal is fresh. You could very well add fresh pineapple to this if you want though!

After chopping a few veggies, I throw these ingredients in the crockpot. They’re always a big debate on whether you should brown a roast before adding to the slow cooker. I do it sometimes, depends on my mood and if I have time. Brown the meat if you want, or don’t if you are lazy like me.

After 9 hours on low, this is what the pork looks like.

Shred the pork with 2 forks, I do the shredding right in the slow cooker.

I served the shredded meat with more sliced jalapenos and shredded white sharp cheddar. I was kicking myself that I didn’t pick up jimica, they actually sell it already sliced at Trader Joe’s I saw the other day.

        It depends on how spicy the jalapenos are.

      Could you do this with a smaller cut of meat like a 2lb pork tenderloin?

          What would the cooking time be on 2lbs of pork tenderloin?

          I would do 7 hours on low.

      You could also remove the cooked meat, shred it, and then brown the shredded meat on a cookie sheet. Put the browned shreds back into your yummy sauce for a bit and then serve. This recipe sounds yummy, and I’ll be using it soon.

      Made this overnight. Delicious! Used a bag of frozen pineapple I had on hand and since it was a 5lb roast I used all 16oz of the fruit and 3 jalapenos. The chiles were hotter than usual but makes for great tacos!
