Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
  • 1 15-18 ounce jar of your favorite salsa verde
  • 1 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 4 ounce can diced green chilies
  • 1 white onion, chopped in large pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. Place all of the ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until pork easily forks apart. Serve buffet-style with flour tortillas, cheese, cilantro, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and a squeeze of lime. Make sure to get some of that yummy sauce the pork is in inside your tortilla. Add a side of Cilantro Lime Rice and black beans.
  2. Trying to eat healthy? Make it into a salad by placing the pork on top of some lettuce with pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime.
