Unknownchef86's Chipotle Pulled Pork, Chicken or Beef
"This is so simple, it's almost a non-recipe, but so delicious I had to submit it. I came up with it one day when I wanted to do something different with a pork tenderloin. It was such a hit, it became a family favorite, replacing the pallid-by-comparison taco meat. It works just as well with boneless chicken or beef. It's very popular at potlucks and get-togethers, also. Pork weight is an estimate...I just use a good-sized roast. This is also a good recipe for OAMC, as you can cook and shred, then package the meat for later use."
- Ready In:
- 6hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 2
- Yields:
-
1 dinner
- Serves:
- 8-16
ingredients
- 2 -4 lbs pork tenderloin (or use lean boneless chicken or beef) or 2 -4 lbs lean pork roast (or use lean boneless chicken or beef)
- 1 (24 ounce) jar medium chipotle salsa (I use Safeway brand)
directions
- Make sure the pork is trimmed of excess fat, then rinse with cold water.
- Place roast in a crockpot and pour the salsa over the top.
- Let cook 6-8 hours or til meat easily shreds.
- Remove roast from crockpot and place on a platter; shred with two forks and return to crockpot, mixing with remaining salsa.
- Use as you would taco meat, serving with tortillas and appropriate toppings (cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, etcetera).
- If desired, after roast is cooked, juices in crockpot can be thickened with a tablespoon of flour and enough water to make a thin paste.

Great simple recipe I used 4ibs of Beef topside, 450g jar of Daniels fire roast mild Salsa & a few drops of Daves Roasted Garlic Hot Sauce, stuck it in the crock pot on low for 9 hours & it was fantastic as a filling in crispy bread rolls Thanks -
I made this recipe exactly as written with no deviations. I just happen to have a jar of Chipotle Salsa from Safeway! It is one of 2 of our favorite salsas. I used the remains of last nights roasted chicken and it turned out deliciously, as you can see from my photos. Husband loved it and cleaned his plate :) I saved the leftovers with my FoodSaver and froze them. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for an easy and delicious recipe. -
This recipe is crazy good! And crazy easy! My husband loves it and has asked for it twice! Thanks for a fantastic, easy & delicious recipe! 5 stars all the way! -
Fantastic and easy! I used the salsa I had on hand - medium garlic - and it turned out really good. I would recommend trimming as much fat as you can out of the pork. -
I made this for my son's wedding cooking 12 porkloins in chipolte salsa for about 18 hours in a roasting oven. It was a sensational hit - so easy to do. I'm making it for a friend's July 4 party tonight. Highly recommend it as a crowd pleaser and a nice change from barbeque pork.

I love to "experiment" in cooking, and I'm pretty good at it. But sometimes my family gets a wee bit exasperated at not knowing what's for dinner. Here's a conversation that's been repeated at our house <i>more</i> than a few times...
<img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/UnknownChef86/Experiment.gif>
<b>DH/Kid:</b> "What are you cooking?"
<b>Me:</b> "An experiment."
<b>DH/Kid:</b> "What kind of experiment?"
<b>Me:</b> "Food."
<b>DH/Kid:</b> "What kind of food?"
<b>Me:</b> "Dinner."
<b>DH/Kid:</b> "But what are we having for dinner?!?"
<b>Me:</b> "How should I know...it's not done yet!"

I love reading, writing and cooking
...is it any wonder I love 'Zaar?

I'm a "Little House on the Prairie" girl at heart.
If I had my way, I'd own a primarily "off-the-grid", self-sustaining farm in the country.

I borrowed the following recipe-rating system from ~Bliss~,
as it seems to fit my style the best of any I've seen,
and modified it a bit to suit my own preferences:
5*--I'd serve it to dinner guests
4*--I'd order this in a restaurant
3*--Good enough for me, but not for guests
2*--Finished eating it, but with a struggle
1*--Unable to finish eating it

I wanted a place to honor those Zaar chefs that have passed away. Some of them were before my time, but they live on in their recipes and their humor/joy of life. God bless you all, and I hope I one day get the privilege of cooking alongside you in that Great Kitchen in the Sky.

Here's a poem I wrote for Gay, Troy and the elves. There's a lot of work and stress that goes on behind the scenes...stuff we don't see. I just thought I'd let them know I appreciate the hard work they do.
<b>To Zaar</b>
In the middle of the night, when all is still,
you've woken up, six hours until
you have to be at work (to use your skill).
Where do you go?
To 'Zaar.
The kids are yelling, your head is pounding,
The dog's in the yard, baying, sounding
like it's being killed...the tension's mounting.
Where do you go?
To 'Zaar.
It's your break at work, you tap your toes,
You've got time to kill, and everyone knows
there's nothing to do, time just flows.
Where do you go?
To 'Zaar.
Dinner's cooking, company's coming,
You're not quite sure if your boss is slumming
by eating there...your nerves are humming.
Where do you go?
To 'Zaar.
All is quiet, the kids are in bed,
Your spouse is content, having been fed
"Such a wonderful dinner!" he happily said.
Where do you go?
To 'Zaar.
To talk, to laugh, to cry, to whinge,
When your nerves and mind want to unhinge,
To get a recipe, to chat with a friend...
Just go to 'Zaar.
The End.
