Unknownchef86's Chipotle Pulled Pork, Chicken or Beef
By: UnknownChef86
Oct 4, 2004
This is so simple, it's almost a non-recipe, but so delicious I had to submit it. I came up with it one day when I wanted to do something different with a pork tenderloin. It was such a hit, it became a family favorite, replacing the pallid-by-comparison taco meat. It works just as well with boneless chicken or beef. It's very popular at potlucks and get-togethers, also. Pork weight is an estimate...I just use a good-sized roast. This is also a good recipe for OAMC, as you can cook and shred, then package the meat for later use.
SERVES 8 -16 , 1 dinner
Ingredients
- 2-4 lbs pork tenderloins or lean pork roast (or use lean boneless chicken or beef)
- 1 (24 ounce) jar medium chipotle salsa (I use Safeway brand)
Directions
1
Make sure the pork is trimmed of excess fat, then rinse with cold water.2
Place roast in a crockpot and pour the salsa over the top.3
Let cook 6-8 hours or til meat easily shreds.4
Remove roast from crockpot and place on a platter; shred with two forks and return to crockpot, mixing with remaining salsa.5
Use as you would taco meat, serving with tortillas and appropriate toppings (cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, etcetera).6
If desired, after roast is cooked, juices in crockpot can be thickened with a tablespoon of flour and enough water to make a thin paste.

I made this recipe exactly as written with no deviations. I just happen to have a jar of Chipotle Salsa from Safeway! It is one of 2 of our favorite salsas. I used the remains of last nights roasted chicken and it turned out deliciously, as you can see from my photos. Husband loved it and cleaned his plate 
I saved the leftovers with my FoodSaver and froze them. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for an easy and delicious recipe.

Really great recipe. I don't have a Crockpot, so I used a Dutch oven to cook it after cubing it into two inch pieces. Simmered for an hour, let it sit in the salsa for 20 minutes and it turned out perfectly, (also used the Safeway Chipotle Salsa). Thanks!!
