Slow Cooker Carnitas Tacos with Apple Salsa

by Danae · October 15, 2014

Happy Wednesday everyone! I know it would be even happier if I was saying Happy Friday, but hey at least we are half way to the weekend! Today I have the pleasure of once again guest posting on my friend Ashley’s blog, Spoonful of Flavor. If you haven’t visited her blog yet, I highly recommend that you head over and see all the amazing recipes she has. You may remember last month when I shared these delicious No Bake Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes over there. Well today I’m changing things up and sharing one of my favorite slow cooker meals, Slow Cooker Carnitas Tacos with Apple Salsa.

I love these tacos for so many reasons. First off it’s a taco and who doesn’t love a good taco?! Second, these healthier carnitas are made in a slow cooker which is just perfect for fall and busy nights. Lastly, the apple salsa. I know, sounds weird right? Well trust me on this one. The sweet crunchy apples paired with the salty savory carnitas is AMAZING!
