We love Mexican food at our house. There are so many different ways you can cook meat in the crockpot with a Mexican flair. Almost every week as part of my meal planning and prep, I make some sort of meat in the crockpot. This pork recipe is very versatile. We use it on nachos as pictured, as well as in Pork Burrito Bowls, Pork Salad, and even in Sour Cream Pork Enchiladas. Eventually I’ll get around to posting all of those recipes, but for now, enjoy these simple nachos, and get creative with the leftovers! I’d love to hear what you come up with.
