How to Make Mexican Pork

  1. Place 2 lbs boneless pork shoulder, 1 (28 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa, and 2-3 fresh jalapeños (minced, adjust to your spice preference) into a slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded with a fork.
  3. Shred the pork with two forks directly in the slow cooker. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed).
  4. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve the pulled pork over rice, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and your favorite toppings. Alternatively, use the pork to fill warm tortillas for delicious tacos the next day!
