For the Pork Tacos:

  • Next, add in the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • Season all sides of the pork roast with salt and pepper. Place into the crockpot along with the sauce mixture. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until fork tender.
  • Remove from the crockpot and cut into bite-size pieces with the sauce.
  • Heat up street style tortillas until warm. Add a generous amount roasted pork as well as your favorite toppings. Serve with the kiwi verde and fresh lime wedges.
