Eating together is just so good. Taco Tuesday is a great night to toss this simple recipe into the crock pot, and have the meat ready to go for a taco board or a taco bar.
We do love a good taco board. We also love to make taco bowls, so you could add this meat and all of the taco ingredients into a bowl (minus the tortillas) and replace tortillas with taco chips! DELISH!
Here’s what I LOVE about this recipe. In the morning, you decide you want to host that night, take a 1-pound pork roast or tenderloin from the freezer, place it in the crock pot … and the rest is easy.

Wow – so easy and so delicious! Definitely a keeper✅
Thank you!!
Amazing!!!
I make something similar using a beef pot roast and salsa. My nephew calls it “Killer Taco” meat.
Can you use frozen pork chops?
I would think you could, Nicole. I have not tried frozen though.
Could this be done over a longer time period (work is 10+ hours)?
Yes, Sara, as long as there is enough liquid in the crock pot!
Yes, Sara, as long as you have enough liquid in the crock pot!
I love this Sandy!! SO EASY! This would fit in nicely to our week, but I love having it as a go-to for entertaining friends. Just add margaritas :)
I was so wowed by this simple recipe last week. Had two events I needed a main dish for over the weekend: an international dinner at church and Sunday lunch. Everyone loved it, it was the easiest meal I’ve ever made. Thank you!
Awesome, Allie! Now you have a “go-to” recipe, right?
Wow, you can’t beat that for ease. And look what a fab outcome.
You did good, Girl!
You so made my day. Two ingredients? Hugs and kisses your way, this could be life changing. Will make my boys very very happy. Me too. Pinned!
So ridiculously easy, this looks incredible!
Looks delicious!!!! I so appreciate you putting simple recipes on here!!!! Why do we always think I have to do something elaborate for having people over? its often way to stressful and time consuming plus I don’t want to “test” it on them. I love how you encourage us to practice with a recipes a few times first then use tried, true and loved recipes for hosting!!! Not that its not fun to try new recipes just not always the best idea to use the first time when you’re hosting.
Thank you, Michelle. Hoping you also saw my Aztec Pie recipe. Its a great one for adults + kids!
I love the simplicity of this, especially being able to use frozen meat. I’m guilty of often forgetting to defrost meat when I need it. So, this is perfect!
YUM!!! I do this with chicken and regular salsa…I’ll have to try this version for something different. I’d say I’m a 5…I would be apt to have people over more…hubby is not quite so social and likes to stick with ones he knows well….and in the season of “challenging” changes it’s a little trickier. :/ BUT I do agree, that when food is involved, walls come down. My MIL is beautiful at this and often has people in her home for meals and we often get to join them since they live 2 minutes from our house
