Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 12 small Corn tortillas
• 2 cups, shredded Green cabbage
• 1 large, grated Carrot
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into a few large chunks.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork chunks, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chunks on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily.

Step 7

About 30 minutes before serving, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Toss well to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Once the pork is done, shred it using two forks while still in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices for additional flavor.

Step 9

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.

Step 10

To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of the pulled pork onto each tortilla and top with a handful of the prepared slaw.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat pulled pork tacos!
