Crock Pot Pulled Pork Loin

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Loin from 101 Cooking For Two
Use it for BBQ, use it for Mexican or anywhere you wand a moist and tasty shredded pork. Healthy and low fat "pulled" pork from a pork loin using a slow cooker. An almost no work recipe.

I love pork but generally pork loin is way too lean for shredding but cooking it in a spiced up braising liquid and then adding some back for moisture will get you what you want. I modified my own oven based shredded pork loin recipe. I'm giving you two options.  One for BBQ and one for Mexican.

Southwest Country Style Boneless Pork Ribs

Back to Cooking For Two. We are starting a diet this week which calls for big time flavor. Here it is. A Tex-Mex pork recipe that I grilled to cut up on a salad. It's got taste and it's got spiciness. UMM...GOOD.

Spicy Mexican Shredded Pork Tostadas (Tinga)

When I saw this on ATK, I knew I would do a version someday.

This is a modified ATK recipe that they are calling Tinga.  As I read others opinion of the recipe several criticisms appeared common. They poached the pork in water with a little onion and spice that produced a bland meat and the final result apparently reflected that. What I really did like about their recipe the toasting of the meat to a produce seared flavor. I kept that part.

Crockpot Southwest Pork Tenderloin Chili - A Low Fat Wonderful Thing

I have always said that pork and Mexican are made to go together. Well, I just proved it again. With only 10 minutes of prep, a crock pot and 8 hours, you can have a very healthy wonderful taste meal.

With only about 3-4 grams of fat per serving this will fit any diet. But I don't want you to think of this as a diet dish. This will blow any other chili out of the water on taste.

Best Mexican Shredded Pork Loin

There is something special about pork in Mexican food. It just seems right. Don't get me wrong because chicken and beef are great. But pork is just soooo right.

I was going to try a pork shoulder but really I don't like dealing with that much fat. I know it is suppose to add flavor but I reallllly don't like fat. I regressed to one of my favorite recipes that I have been using for the last 3 years. Plus whole pork loins were on sell for $1.79 so why not.
