Slow Cooker Chili Lime Pulled Pork is made with a chili rub, fresh cilantro, and cooked in lime juice. This is the easiest, juiciest pulled pork recipe.
I love meals that require little effort and get rave reviews from my tough little critics. And this recipe is just that. I literally let this pork sit in the slow cooker all day while the kiddos were at school, shredded it right before I went to pick them up and then let it sit in the juices until we were ready to eat. There was not one shred of pork left. Sad because I was looking forward to the leftovers but happy that I had another meal to add to my monthly menu. And I will be saving it for days that are crazy so that we can have a delicious home-cooked meal without much hassle for me.
My family loves Mexican food, like seriously we could have it every night and be happy. I love this little gem in Fort Collins called Café Mexacali – it is oh, so good. And their sweet pork recipe is my absolute favorite but I have to say this recipe rivals it and guess what I can make this entire meal for the price of two burritos – and with having a family of 7, that saves me some money.
We like to eat this as tacos, but the other night I made quesadillas with it and it was the bomb. I know that calorie-wise the amount of cheese I added that it might be better to make as a taco or a salad but it was pure comfort and it was exactly what I needed.
Cheers to recipes the whole family loves and to meals that require little effort on my part.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Slow Cooker Chili Lime Pulled Pork?
Prepare pork; mix chili powder, coriander seed, ground cumin, and salt in a large, shallow bowl. Roll the pork in the chili mixture, making sure to coat the entire pork loin.
Add the pork loin to a slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth and lime juice, add the sliced garlic and ½ cup chopped cilantro.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
Once pork is done cooking, remove from the slow cooker and place onto a cutting board or serving plate. Shred pork by pulling apart using two forks. Add the pork back into the slow cooker and stir it in the juices, add the remaining ¼ cup cilantro and stir once again. Ready to serve or set the slow cooker on warm, until ready to serve.
Fantastic to serve over rice, with corn or flour tortillas or as a nacho!
