Captain's Log, Stardate 01.18.2008
I am SO proud of Captain Caffeine! He bought a pork shoulder that was on sale and decided to make Mexican-style pulled pork in the crockpot.
Holy smokes, that stuff was good!!!!
So, not to be outdone, I made homemade flour tortillas (they're actually pretty easy) and we had a DELISH dinner the other night.
Captain Caffeine has graciously agreed to share his magic recipe (although I don't know if it's really magic since he only made it once).
4 pounds pork shoulder blade roast (pork butt)
12 ounces green salsa
1 packet taco seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 onion (optional)
2 jalapeno peppers (didn't have these, but next time I'll try)
1 beef bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup water
Dice onion and place in bottom of crock pot. Place pork on top of onions, sprinkle taco seasoning and cayenne pepper on top of pork. Add green salsa and beef bouillon mixture.
Turn crock pot on "high" setting for 6 hours, or until pork can be shredded by fork.
Serve with home made tortillas.
Update: Here's the tortilla recipe. I used this one from Texasrollingpins.com, but I also used the cooking instructions in this one from cooks.com as a guide when pan frying them. I used my cast iron skillet without oil to cook them.
