Servings: persons

3 1/2 lbs boneless pork shoulder (can be reduced to 3 lbs)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 cup chicken stock (recommend 1/2 cup instead)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
18 taco shells
Garnishes
2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup light sour cream

1
Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown pork all over. Transfer to slow cooker.
2
Add onions, garlic and chili powder to Dutch oven; fry, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 4 minutes.
3
Add chicken stock, stirring to scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan; scrape into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or until pork is tender.
4
If you do not have time, you could omit step 1-3 and just add everything to the cooker as it is. I think that step 1-3 does add flavour, though.
5
Transfer pork to cutting board. Trim off excess fat; with 2 forks, shred pork. Return pork to slow cooker.
6
Add corn, salsa and tomato paste. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened. Stir in coriander.
7
Serve in bowl along with basket of taco shells for everyone to spoon mixture into.
8
Serve lettuce, tomatoes cheese and sour cream in separate small bowls for everyone to garnish tacos.
