Gifts for Spirit, Mind, Body
My mother served us pulled pork tacos one night. She threw pork loin, salsa & chopped green chiles into her crock pot and let it simmer. It was very tasty but I wanted to kick it up a bit so I added some seasoning to get that yummy flavor I love about well seasoned fajita meet. As this really got going in the crock pot my kindergartener says "It smells like Del Rio in here". Del Rio is a local Mexican restaurant. I had to give him a high five and hugs for that! I knew I must be doing something right :-)
Add the salsa through the jalapenos to your crock pot. Zest half the lime (about 1 Tablespoon of zest) adding it to the pot and then add juice of half the lime*. Give a good stir to mix all the ingredients together and nestle your Pork Loin into the mixture. Set your crock pot on low and let it cook 6 hours. At the half-way point I turn the pork over to ensure even cooking. Use 2 forks, scraping the pork in opposite directions to "pull" the meat.
Serve with flour tortillas and your favorite fajita/taco toppings.
*So as not to waste any lime, zest and juice the entire lime, setting half of each aside to use in my Roasted Corn w/Tequila Cream Sauce recipe which makes a wonderful addition to these tacos! Visit my blog here http://suburbankitchenwitch.blogspot.com/2012/08/roasted-corn-wtequ... for the recipe.
Witch's Notes: Since Pork is the star of this dish and is associated with the Earth Element, this is an excellent meal for grounding. Pork is also known around the globe as a bringer of prosperity as well as fertility. So set your intentions, write your prayers/spells ahead of time (if you're like me and you get lost in cooking and forget your intention) and stir in plenty of positive energy for a great outcome.
