Pork Tacos (Slow Cooker)

Adapted from an internet recipe.
I found this recipe as originally stated as roast in the oven with the meat stacked on a skewer and called for achiote paste, which I am not going to find nor do I think I can make that here. I am going to write this as a slow cooker recipe as well.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons vinegar
  • ½ cup pineapple juice, from a carton, not fresh
  • 1½ kilos pork shoulder, cut into ¾ inch cubes, (3 lb)

To Prepare

  • 6-10 tortillas, corn or flour
  • onion, chopped
  • fresh cilantro, chopped
  • salsa, of your choice, Shortcut

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients except the pork.
  • Cube the pork and add to the mixing bowl, and mix together with the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 2-24 hours.
  • After marinating, place the pork in your slow cooker and cook for 6-10 hours on Low setting, remove and drain the meat, place a few spoons of meat on a tortilla, top with some onion, cilantro, and salsa, fold and enjoy!

Notes

The pork would cost about 100 Baht/kilo, so 150 Baht for that. The tortillas, flour, import from the states (actually good quality) will run 240 Baht/pack of 10. For 10 servings, this is about $1.15 per serving, not bad for visiting friends and family.
Shortcut: Salsa.
