CHIPOTLE PORK TACOS

Gluten Free

This one is a favorite! It makes a bunch and will feed a crowd if you use the large pork tenderloin or you can freeze the leftovers or use the leftovers in a different recipe. You can also use the CILANTRO LIME ADOBO SAUCE that I previously posted. Best thing is you can throw it all in the slow cooker.

2 lb. pork tenderloin
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime rind
2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 Tablespoon fresh oregano
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 medium shallots chopped

I also chop up some tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce. And I serve on Gluten Free corn tortillas.

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker on high for 6 to 8 hours and it is melt in your mouth good.


CILANTRO LIME ADOBO SAUCE

2 Cup Mayo
1/2 of a fresh lime squeezed
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 adobo from a can and a bit of the sauce
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin optional

All of the above ingredients are to taste. If you like it more spicy add more adobo, it really is personal preference. You could even use this as a dressing on a salad and we have also used it in place of sour cream on nachos. YUMMY!! You will see this sauce again pared with other recipes.
