Course Main Dish
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3- to 4-pound boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 lb dried pinto beans
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 32-ounce container chicken broth
  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel

Instructions
 

  • Spray the bowl of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray. Rinse and sort the beans according to the package directions; place in the slow cooker. Add roast and next 5 ingredients. Pour chicken broth over roast.
  • Cover and cook on high 6 hours. Pull roast into large chunks using 2 forks. Stir in Rotel. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1 hour more, or until liquid is slightly reduced.
  • Serve in taco bowls with your desired toppings: lettuce, green onion, shredded cheese, salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc.

In addition to serving this filling in tortilla bowls, it is also perfect for making quesadillas, burritos and more.

Our favorite toppings for these slow cooker taco bowls are fresh avocado, grated cheese, chopped green onions, fresh tomatoes, and plain Greek yogurt, but you can top them with anything you choose. This is a great recipe to prepare for a crowd so people can mix and match the toppings to their liking!

Tip for Making Great Slow Cooker Taco Bowls:

I highly recommend investing in a set of tortilla shell makers before preparing this recipe! These pans allow you to turn regular burrito-sized tortillas into crispy bowls–without frying! 

I’m sharing this post with you today as a party of the fun Slow Cooker Spooctacular event hosted by the super talented girls from Simple Simon and Co.! All month long, they’ve been sharing some great recipes and Crock Pot tips, including a great guide with super helpful slow cooker tips.

AND, as a part of the event, there is a darling slow cooker up for grabs! I hope one of my lucky readers wins!! Good luck!

    Do you think I could use pork chops? I already have them, so I was just wondering. Thanks!

    I’ve never seen those taco bowl makers before. Will have to invest in some!

    This looks so good, just a little question though, what is Rotel? We don’t have it in the UK. Thanks 🙂

      Hi Debbie in the UK! Rotel is a combination of diced tomatoes and chopped green chilies. It comes in mild or hot. If I don’t have Rotel in, I just open a can of chopped chilies and throw them in to taste.

    • Amy @ Positively Splendid says

      Rotel is a canned mixture of diced tomatoes and green chile. You could substitute diced tomatoes if you have that on hand, plus a small can of chiles or jalapenos. Thanks!
