Slow Cooker (crockpot) Mexican Pulled Pork Tortillas

This slow cooker Mexican pulled pork recipe is easy meal to throw together. I had 3 big pork chops that I needed to use up so I thought I'd put them in the slow cooker and let her do the work today. My pork chops were frozen so you can just grab them from the freezer and get things going.

Tips:
  • Barbecue sauce can be sweet, so if you want to cut the sweetness, serve this with some sour cream. But I like it just the way it is!
