Crockpot Tex Mex Shredded Pork Bowls

A delicious Tex-Mex dish that practically cooks itself.

In the hot summer months, I like to rely on my Crockpot for a lot of my cooking. It keeps the kitchen a lot cooler, because I can cook up a meal without having to run the oven or the stove. And it keeps me a lot cooler, because the Crockpot does all the work, so I don’t have to spend time standing and stirring a hot pot. 

Here’s a super easy Crockpot recipe I whipped up recently: Crockpot Tex Mex Shredded Pork Bowls. This has meat, beans, veggies, and seasoning all in one pot, so all you need to make it into a meal is some plain rice and your favorite toppings. And it’s so simple, it practically cooks itself.

All you have to do is load the veggies into the crock, then quickly season a boneless pork shoulder and toss that in on top. Then set it on low and just leave it to itself for seven hours, while you go out and enjoy the nice summer weather.

By dinnertime, the meat will be falling-apart tender, and all the flavors will be nicely blended together. All it needs is a quick shredding with a fork, and it’s ready to serve.

 With these Crockpot Tex Mex Shredded Pork Bowls, you can spend less of your precious summer cooking, and more just having fun.
