Very good. Easy. I put everything in the crock pot and cooked on low 8+ hours. Didn’t need to add the extra water. After baking, my meat was too crunchy. My fault; cut meat into pieces too small before baking. Next time I’ll either bake for shorter time or leave meat pieces larger. Still delicious with all the toppings.

This was a delicious and easy way to feed several teenage boys! I used the leftover broth to make rice and that was lauded as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this in the crock-pot. This is just one reason I love cooking at home. My husband the pickiest eater I know- LOVED this!!! It was perfect, although… I did add 1/2 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper. Perfect! The left over’s became tostada’s

This was a fantastic recipe! I threw everything in the crock pot and let it cook for about 6 hours on low and it was delicious! I will be making this often and my husband thanks you.

I made this for some neighbors who are going through a hard time right now. It was absolutely delicious! I added a little bit of chopped jalapenos from my garden to the tacos and made some mexican rice and pinto beans to go with them. Both the neighbors and my husband raved about them. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks!

This has become my go-to recipe when I’m looking to serve a number of people. The seasonings are delicious (though I add chipotle chili powder) and it comes out divine every time as long as you give the meat time to get tender!

Two other things I do with mine- I cut up the pork shoulder into large chunks to make the cooking time a little faster and I splash in a healthy cup of the cooking juices before I pop it into the oven.

To sum up- THANK YOU for posting this recipe- it is my favorite TK recipe of all time!

Cotija cheese is usually found by the cream cheese, or string cheese or refrigirated bagels. It’s round like a puk and is in a clear plastic packaging. You can use any shredded cheese if you cant find that.

Queso Fresco is also a good choice.
