Instructions

  • Rub the pork with salt and black pepper.
  • Set the slow cooker to “sauté” and brown the pork on all sides. Alternatively, you can do this in a skillet on the stove.
  • In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chicken broth, chipotle chilis, sauce, pineapple, red onion, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, white wine vinegar and garlic. Blitz until smooth.
  • Place the pork into the slow cooker and cover with the marinade, cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • Once the pork has cooked, remove from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir through the marinade until well combined.
  • Serve the pork with warm corn tortillas and additional diced pineapple, red onion, and cilantro.
