Ingredient Notes

  • Pork shoulder – also called pork butt and commonly used to make pulled pork – is perfect for these tacos. I prefer boneless but you could use bone-in if that’s what you have available.
  • Use my homemade taco seasoning blend or your favorite store bought version.
  • Beer. I like a lighter beer, an IPA or Pale Ale. Feel free to use what you like, or swap out for chicken or veggie broth instead.

Preparation Notes

  • If you need the pork to cook faster, cut it into smaller chunks before adding to slow cooker
  • Top with seasoning and then add beer
  • The beer will help add additional flavor and break down the pork to make it tender, but it’s okay to sub broth instead if desired

    I’m really eager to try this recipe! Instead of grating a piece of ginger, can I use ground ginger? If yes, what would be your suggested amount?

      Hey there, did you mean to comment on a different recipe? This one doesn’t have any ginger.
