• Slow cooked pork carnita tacos with corn and avocado salsa

I live in the Southwest where tacos are king. I love this recipe because you can buy a cheap cut of pork, dark chicken or even beef (anything on sale) But, pork butt really works best. You throw everything in a slow cooker, set it and forget it. If you have a little more time on your hands, sear the meat for better flavor and a nice caramelized color. I've made carnitas with orange juice, but the idea of evaporated milk and cola really inspires my taste buds. These are moist and flavorful and are wonderful to come home to after a long day at work or taking care of the kids. This method is a weeknight must for any busy person running around trying to be a fabulous (put your daily passion in here). Making this for friends and family is great too because it is familiar enough to even make the kids happy, but sophisticated enough to make the adults giddy too! Oh, and don't forget to top the tacos with queso fresco and serve with either warmed corn or flour tortillas!
