I really love Mexican food. Well, let me re-phrase that, I love anything that resembles Mexican food. OK, I love anything that goes in a tortilla even if it isn't Mexican. The tortilla is really the perfect carb for just about anything. These pork tacos are no exception!
I have been eyeing this recipe for close to two years over at A Thrifty Mom. This is where I learned to coupon and cook from a stockpile. Sarah has a ton of great recipes that are easy to prepare, and even easier on the budget. But, back to the tacos, these are sweet but not overly sweet. The pork combined with the cilantro lime ranch topping are a perfect combination all wrapped up in the warm flour tortillas Yes, I will say they are quite delicious! I bet you could make them with beef or chicken with great results too. Enjoy!

1- Pork tenderloin roast (6-10 pounds) any type of roast will work
2 cans of Tomato sauce 15 oz
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 can of Dr Pepper
1 clove garlic diced
1/4 cup cilantro minced
Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or until the roast is tender. Remove roast from crock pot and shred with two forks. Return meat to the sauce and serve in warm tortillas with Cilantro Chili Lime Ranch and your favorite toppings.
**Cook's Note-The leftover meat mixture freezer beautifully and is great for a quick dinner on busy nights. Just take the freezer container out of the freezer in the morning and let it thaw in the refrigerator.
