Charley's Slow Cooker Mexican-Style Pork is a dish that originated in the southwestern part of the United States, where pork, chili peppers and spices are a staple in the regional cuisine. This recipe is a twist on the traditional Mexican-style Pork, which is made with a blend of bold and smoky spices, and served with coconut rice or black beans. Charley's version of this dish slow-cooks the pork in a blend of spices, onions, and chile peppers, making it moist and succulent. The dish is then shredded and served with fresh tortillas and Mexican-style vegetables for a full and satisfying meal.
