My Slow Cooker Honey Chili Lime Pork Tacos are a delicious and easy weeknight meal. Tender slow cooked shredded pork cooked with a little heat from jalapenos and chili powder, and a little sweetness from the honey.

Slow Cooker Honey Chili Lime Pork Tacos. So this recipe….is so good. I love tacos and many times we stick to traditional ground beef because because my kids love them, but I like to try different combos.

 This recipe is great for a weeknight because it is easy to put together and easy to put on the table after a crazy day.  My slow cooker is such a lifesaver, and I love cooking pork in it.

The flavors are sweet, spicy and tangy. I like to top with a little avocado, tomatoes, onion and cilantro, but you can top with our favorites. This recipe is easily adaptable if you want less or more heat- or a little extra sweet. I like the flavors with pork, but chicken or beef are great options too.

Ingredients

  • pork loin - I like pork loin for Slow Cooker Honey Chili Lime Pork Tacos. Tenderloin or another roast cut will also work well.
  • chicken broth - this can be substituted for water or vegetable broth.
  • soy sauce - low sodium soy sauce can be substituted.
  • honey - agave or brown sugar can be substituted.
  • limes
  • chili powder
  • garlic powder
  • canned diced jalapenos - a single small diced fresh jalapeno can be substituted.
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • tortillas
  • toppings: diced tomatoes, mashed avocado, diced onion, and chopped fresh cilantro
  • Slow Cooker
  • Taco Plates - these are so fun to use to serve tacos.

Substitutions

  • A fresh small diced jalapeno can be used in place of the canned. If you do not want to pork to be spicy, substitute a 4 oz can of diced green chiles.
  • Pork loin is very lean and can be substituted for pork shoulder or pork butt for Slow Cooker Honey Chili Lime Pork Tacos.
  • Agave or brown sugar can be used in place of honey.
  • Chicken or beef are great substitutes for the pork. Cubed tofu is delicious as well, but lower the cooking time for that filling to 4-6 hours in the slow cooker.
