Costco's Pork Taco Meat

Pork Roast
Taco Seasoning (couple of packets or a few Tablespoons)
Lime Juice (sprinkle some on to taste- start with a maybe one Tablespoon)

Throw all together in a crock pot mid day and cook 4-5 hours, depending on the size of the roast cooking time and amount of seasonings vary. When it is done cooking, shred it and taste, see if you want to add more taco seasoning or lime juice... serve on corn or freshly cooked flour tortillas!

"Cafe Rio" style Sweet Pork

Pork Roast
Salsa (about one cup)
Brown Sugar (about one cup)

throw them all together in a crock pot in the middle of the day. Cook on high for 4-5 hours. Amounts depend on the size of the pork roast. Shred and enjoy! They are really good served with sweet rice and black beans on fresh tortillas (we like the uncooked tortillas you can buy at Costco)!

Kalua Pork

Pork roast (the kind that are in the bags that look like a bag of really juicy meat)
Kosher salt
Liquid smoke (you can find this near the BBQ sauce in the store)

In the morning stick the pork loin roast in the crock pot. Sprinkle on a good helping of the salt and several shakes of the liquid smoke. Cook on low all day or on high for half a day. Shred the meat as best you can- food processors are nice, but I don't have one, so a knife and small chunks at a time in my pampered chef chopper work. You can put a teriyaki sauce on this- we have used Yoshidas, but I don't LOVE it...if you find a good sauce for this, let me know.
Serve over rice and enjoy- it tastes great even without some sort of sauce, but a nice, sweet, thick teriyaki sauce is ideal.

Pork Loin Roast

Another super simple recipe. Alex was even the one who made this and it turned out awesome!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast (whatever is on sale!)
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large, resealable plastic bag, mix rosemary, garlic salt, thyme, and pepper. Place pork roast in the bag, seal, and toss until thoroughly coated with the garlic salt mixture. Transfer to a medium baking dish.
3. Cook pork roast 1 hour in the preheated oven, or to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

- Alex just coated the roast by hand as the pork loin we bought on sale was too big for a Ziploc bag. It didn't seem to change anything and worked just as well. For bigger portions of meat just use the same proportions.
