Tips & Tricks (5)

Coca-Cola Tenderizing Magic 🥤
The phosphoric acid in Coca-Cola acts as a natural meat tenderizer, breaking down proteins and creating incredibly soft, juicy pork.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Toast your taco seasoning in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before adding to the slow cooker to intensify and deepen the spice profile.
Moisture Preservation Trick 💧
Cover the pork with a layer of green chilis and enchilada sauce to prevent surface drying and maintain optimal moisture during slow cooking.
Brown Sugar Caramelization Hack 🍯
Add brown sugar in the last hour of cooking to create a rich, caramelized exterior without burning or over-sweetening the meat.
Shredding Pro Technique 🍴
Use two forks to shred the pork while it's still warm, and let it sit in its cooking liquid for 15 minutes to absorb maximum flavor.
