Weekly Recipe!

So, at the request of my sister I decided to post a weekly recipe. Something tried and true...and delicious. Enjoy! This is a super easy slow-cooker recipe.
Fajita Pulled-Pork Wraps with Avocado-Onion Slaw
INGREDIENTS
1tablespoon vegetable oil

1lb boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed

3/4cup mild salsa

1teaspoon chili powder

3/4teaspoon ground cumin

3tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing

1tablespoon white vinegar

1/4teaspoon salt

1medium avocado, cubed

1/2cup halved and thinly sliced onion

12small flour/corn tortillas or taco shells

1/4cup chopped cilantro


DIRECTIONS
1 Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook pork in oil 6 to 8 minutes or until brown on both sides. Place pork in slow cooker. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until pork pulls apart easily with fork.
2 Remove pork from slow cooker; shred pork. Reserve 1/4 cup liquid in slow cooker; discard remaining liquid. Stir pork, salsa, chili powder and cumin into liquid in slow cooker.
3 In medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, vinegar and salt. Gently stir in avocado and onion. To serve, place pork in tortillas; top with avocado-onion slaw and chopped cilantro.
The avocado-onion slaw adds creaminess as well as crunch, but for those who are not avocado fans, try substituting diced tomato or shredded lettuce in its place.
If you have no chili powder or cumin on hand, substitute 1 3/4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix in their place.
