Ingredients




For the Pork Shoulder Roast
1 5-lb pork shoulder roast
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 yellow onion
5 cloves garlic
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup red wine
Salt pepper to taste
For the Chipotle Greek Yogurt Sauce
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (3-4 peppers chopped)
For the cabbage slaw
1 head purple cabbage
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 green onion stalk
Juice of 1 lime
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro (optional)

Preparation

1 To Make the pork shoulder: 2 Place all ingredients in the crock pot.  Cook for 5 hours on low.  Meat should be tender and easily shred when finished cooking. 3 To Make the Chipotle Greek Yogurt: 4 In a small bowl, add the Greek yogurt.  Crack open your can of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce and remove the seeds from 3 or 4 of the chilies (about half of the can). Finely chop and add to the Greek yogurt. Add about a teaspoon of the adobo sauce.  Stir. For a spicier sauce, add additional chipotle chilies. 5 To Make the no-mayo coleslaw: 6 Thinly slice the cabbage and chop the green onion.  Peel and julienne the carrot.  Add all veggies to a large mixing bowl.  Mix the lime juice, apple cider vinegar and olive oil together in a small bowl.  Drizzle the liquid over the veggies.  Add salt and pepper to taste and if you’re one of those cilantro people, add a handful of chopped cilantro.  Mix thoroughly and serve on your taco. 7 To assemble the tacos, simply heat your favorite tortilla on the stove until warm. Spoon desired amount of meat, chipotle Greek yogurt sauce, and coleslaw on the tortilla and enjoy!
