Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Fajita seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 whole Bell peppers (red, yellow, green, or orange, sliced)
- 1 whole Yellow onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
- 1 as desired Toppings (sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped cilantro)
Instructions
Season the pork shoulder with the fajita seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chipotle chili powder. Ensure all sides are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the crock pot.
Add the lime juice and chicken broth into the crock pot to keep the pork moist while cooking.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the pork is tender and easily shred-able.
While the pork is cooking, slice the bell peppers and yellow onion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Set aside.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir it into the juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or heat them individually in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with a generous portion of shredded pork and sautéed peppers and onions.
Top with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Crock Pot Pulled Pork Fajitas!
