Get ready for a flavor explosion that will leave you craving for more Today, we’re making Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork Taquitos that are so tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, you’ll want to devour them all in one sitting.
First, let’s start with the salsa verde. This is the magic that brings everything together, and trust me, it’s worth making from scratch. Simply combine jalapeños, tomatillos, garlic, onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.

Now, let’s talk about the pork. We’re using a pork shoulder, which is perfect for slow cooking. Season the pork with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices, then place it in the slow cooker with the salsa verde.
Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Yes, it’s a long time, but trust me, it’s worth it. The pork will be so tender and juicy, it’ll just fall apart.

Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks and return it to the slow cooker. Add some diced onion, garlic, and cilantro, and stir to combine.
Now, it’s time to assemble the taquitos. Warm some corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Then, spoon some of the pork mixture onto a tortilla, followed by some shredded cheese.

Roll the taquitos up tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little bit of oil and bake in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
While the taquitos are baking, let’s make the avocado lime crema. Simply combine diced avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl, and stir to combine.

Once the taquitos are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot with the avocado lime crema, and get ready for a flavor explosion that will leave you wanting more!
This recipe makes about 20-30 taquitos, depending on how much filling you add to each one. You can also customize the filling to your liking, adding diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes, or even some heat with diced jalapeños.
