Slow Cooker Pork Chalupas

So many people tell me that it just takes too long to home cook meals.  It seems there just isn’t enough time in the day to for cooking meals.  I agree.  Most days are like that.  That is why I have collected so many recipes that are really quick to make and ready to serve the minute that I walk in the door. Slow Cooker Pork Chalupa’s definitely fit all of those requirements. Besides being fast to put together they are super tasty.  We always have leftovers.  The Chalupa’s can be switched up to make the meal only a semi-leftover meal. That makes the next few days of dinner more exicting.

Pork Roast, Chalupas

Put a roast in a slow cooker and sprinkle taco seasoning over the top.  Pour 1/2 cup water into the slow cooker.  Let it cook on low overnight.  Or you can cook it on high for 4-5 hours until it is easy to shred.  I like the overnight method because I shred the pork the next morning. I finish the chalupas and dinner is ready by about nine in the morning. All I have to do is put it back on the slow cooker a few hours before dinner.

Shredded Pork Roast Chalupas

After pork is cooked remove it from the slow cooker and shred.  Drain leftover meat juice in slow cooker. Return shredded pork to slow cooker.

Pork Chalupas, and Beans

Drain and rinse beans.

Pork and Bean Chalupas    Add beans, soup seasonings, salsa and chili’s to slow cooker. Stir together.  Continue cooking on low for 3-4 hours.  Slow Cooker Pork Nachos

Serve the Pork Chalupas on a tortilla with sour cream, grated cheese, guacamole, lettuce, olives and salsa.

Or…

For round two of the Pork Chalupa’s serve on tortilla chips with desired toppings.

Or…

Roll into burritos, cover with cheese, bake for a few minutes and enjoy.

See, this is so versatile. And you only really have to cook one time.

    My mouth is officially watering! You had me at crockpot and easy! Quick question, what’s your favorite salsa to use in this recipe? Red or green salsa? Also, I’m assuming it’s just the typical sized jar of salsa, is that correct?

    Keep the great recipes coming!

      I agree, slow cooker is the way to go. I use a pint sized jar of homemade salsa. It works great. Just use your favorite kind. Thanks for noticing that I left the size out. I will go fix that.

    Our neighbors wife has been out of town for about four weeks and still has a couple of weeks left to go. Busy helping her daughter in Michigan and now off to Chicago to watch their sons family while they are go on a trek.

    I know if I was out of town, Claudia would invite my husband to dinner, so while at church yesterday we invited him to dinner this Friday night. I love to entertain but always worry about what to serve. I always get stuck in the same old rut, or boring.

    I’ve been trying to decide what I should make, thinking something I can put in the crock pot and have ready when I get home would be a winner. After a long week at the office I am not going to feel like coming home, so ta da. Here it comes, the perfect recipe for company and left overs of the next day too. Thanks Amy, you came to my rescue again.

    Love Mom
