For an extra layer of flavor, try searing the pork loin pieces in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will create a delicious crust and enhance the overall depth of flavor. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. Simply adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly. Leftover shredded pork is excellent in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or even as a topping for nachos.

01 Step
Recipe View Season the pork loin pieces with salt and place them in a slow cooker. Scatter the diced green chile peppers and crushed garlic evenly over the pork. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and the chipotle sauce. Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours.
02 Step
Recipe View When the pork is almost finished, prepare the cilantro-lime rice. In a saucepan, bring the remaining 2 3/4 cups of water and rice to a boil. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and allow it to sit in the remaining sauce until some of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. This will allow the pork to become even more flavorful and tender.
04 Step

May 3, 2024I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but the chipotle sauce added just the right amount of smoky heat. I will definitely be making this again!
