Slow Cooker Pulled-Pork Fajitas

I found a recipe called Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled Pork Fajitas at Betty Crocker. You can find the original recipe there, however, I tweaked it because my husband didn't like the barbecue sauce in it. We loved the way the meat pulls apart after it is slow cooked. So instead of using the barbecue sauce, salsa, chili powder and cumin, I substituted it with Stubb's Pork Marinade. It is a little spicy, so it makes it perfect for fajitas. You may not find that marinade in your grocery store, but I am sure you can figure something to slow cook with your pork. Another variation to the recipe is that I don't use the frozen peppers and onions. I slice them long and fry them in the skillet with some olive oil until they are tender. We eat these fajitas with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and guacomole. ( I make my guacomole by smashing avocados and mixing it with salsa and garlic powder - yummy!) Okay - truth - my kids don't eat the vegetables or the guacomole. I hope that this recipe idea is helpful.

Happy Cooking!
