Slow Cooker Citrus-Chipotle Pulled Pork
You cannot go wrong with pulled pork in the slow cooker, but sometimes the options get a little…shall we say boring? So I was sitting around thinking about how I can spice things up a bit and bring a little zest and a new flavor profile to the classic pulled pork recipes.
I love citrus, and so I went with orange simply because it is one of those fruits that I always have in the fruit drawer in the fridge. And then I thought I wanted to add a bit of kick too, so I went with Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which offers some spice and smokiness to the meat. And to round it out and add a touch of sweetness I went with bottled barbecue sauce. You just add it all to your crockpot, let it cook until the meat is “fork tender” and shred it up.
I served the pulled pork on some delicious rolls I picked up from the bakery with a side of sweet potato fries. And for us adults – the perfect beer to go with this recipe – Blue Moon beer!
The kids had lemonade đŸ™‚

Thanks Jenetta, this twist is so easy too. And it adds some really good flavor to the meat.
looks so good, but cannot Pin
Hey Tess,
That is so weird, we have been having issues with Pinterest not letting folks pin stuff from time to time and we cannot figure out why.
If you want you can re-pin it here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/74872412529551116/
I will keep digging to figure out why this keep happening.
