These Slow Cooker Pork Tacos let your slow cooker do most of the work. Crunchy purple cabbage, tender pork and a juicy pineapple mint salsa create a taco bursting with flavor!
You know, I have learned something about you guys. You like tacos. Like, you really, really like tacos. Maybe you love tacos. Maybe you should make tacos some chocolate fondue and ask them to be your valentine. The reason I know you like/love tacos is because a few months ago I did a post about Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos. It was sort of an off-hand decision to even share them in the first place. I was craving tacos one night and sort of just made up the recipe based on what I had in the house. But. The Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos were a hit. Like, the most popular recipe on this site to date. So you know I’m going to give the people what they want, and what they want is more tacos.
I recently shared a recipe for The Easiest Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, and that is what gave me the idea for these Slow Cooker Pork Tacos. I mean, what is easier than letting your slow cooker do the work for you, and then putting these pork tacos together in about 15 minutes after the pork is cooked? After you have slow cooked your pork and shredded it, you are ready to make these tacos. I mentioned before that you can freeze the pork, so if you did that, just thaw it out and you will be ready to start. I placed the shredded pork under the broiler for about 5 minutes to warm it up and let it get a little crispy. You don’t want to leave it too long or it can dry out.
A bright, citrusy pineapple mint salsa was just the thing
Since the pork is so rich, I wanted something that could brighten it up and cut the oil a little. A bright, citrusy pineapple mint salsa was just the thing. I went with mint because I don’t really like cilantro, and it turned out great. The pop of fresh flavor from the mint really plays nicely with the pork and the pineapple. Fresh chunks of pineapple, lime juice, shallot and mint are all you need for this easy salsa. You can add jalapeno if you want to make it a little spicy, but that is optional.
I also added some purple cabbage for crunch, plus I like the bright purple color with the yellow pineapple, green mint and red salsa. So colorful, like a party! Try not to eat ten of them.

You couldn’t be more right. We (not sure who I mean by ‘we.’ Foodies? Americans? Human beings?) are OBSESSED with tacos right now. And I couldn’t be happier. You can do so much with them. Like eat them.
Haha, right?? So many options with tacos. Thanks Christine!
I loved your pulled pork recipe recently and this is the perfect way to use it I’m imagining that juicy meat and that sweet, fresh pineapple and wishing I had some right now. Mint & pineapple is way ahead of cilantro & pineapple too.
Thank you so much Jane!! I am so glad you agree with me on mint being way better than cilantro 🙂
I’m always looking for new slow cooker meals. Who can resist tacos? These look incredible. I love the addition of the pineapple mint salsa.
Thanks so much Ashley! The slow cooker makes them super easy!
You are right! I do love tacos!!! I really love this pineapple salsa you have with these pork tacos! It sounds sooooo good!
Thanks so much Kathy!
These look so delish ♥

Thank you Summer!
I’m definitely a taco-lover (maybe not quite want to marry, but definitely a once every week or two kinda gal), so this is perfect! Pineapple and pork is such a gorgeous combination. I don’t currently have a slow cooker though, so will have to figure out another way to make that awesome pulled pork filling!
Thanks Claudia! I think you could oven roast it for similar results 🙂
This looks amazing; great colors. I love slow cooker and tacos are my favorite meal to have!!
Thank you Anu!
Pineapple salsa is the best! These tacos look so fabulous!

I bet pineapple makes these tacos so good!! Sweet + Savory always rocks!
Thank you Ami! I love sweet and savory too! The pineapple goes so well with the pork 🙂
They look absolutely amazing and the chili lime shrimp tacos as well. Pinned both of them! 🙂
Thank you so much Adina!
Girlfriend, I definitely fall into the taco love camp! I wish every day was #TacoTuesday! These pork tacos look divine, doll! Loving the pineapple in here! SO YUM!! Perfectly acceptable for breakfast.. right? Cheers! 🙂
Yes, I think these could pass as breakfast tacos – anytime of day tacos! Haha, thank you Cheyanne!
I’m all for passing most of the prep work for dinner on to a kitchen appliance! Hurrah for the humble slow cooker! Now that you’ve suggested it Meghan, I am actually considering making some chocolate fondue – in an adorable little heart bowl of course 😉 – and asking these tacos to be my valentine. I wonder how Daniel will react when I announce to him that I’m leaving. Sorry darling, the tacos have won over my heart and there is room for no other! Sorry not sorry.
Haha, he would probably understand. I mean, no one can resist a taco 😉 Thank you Lisa!
Tacos and I are occasional hookups but still seeing other people. 😉 I’m usually pretty eh on homemade tacos, but maybe I just haven’t met the right ones because these look really good. I love the pork pineapple combo and that pretty purple cabbage sounds like it adds the perfect crunch!
I was totally the same way Tracy! This combo won my heart though 🙂 Thank you!
You really do have a way with tacos, m’dear! Another fantastic recipe!! I especially love the pineapple + mint + pork combo here. Total noms!!! Hope your week is going splendidly. XOXO
Thanks so much Lauren! Have a lovely week as well! <3
I wish I could hire you as my personal chef. FIVE BIG STARS go to you and this kickass recipe! I need more tacos in my life and I love the combinations you come up with!!
Haha, thanks Katy!
I love tacos to “totally want to marry” point haha! These look great and I love how you used a pineapple mint salsa for a fresh and sweet burst of flavor! Definitely a delicious slice of summer to brighten up this chilly winter.
Thank you Ashlyn! I love how pineapple transports you right to the tropics!
I love tacos! Oh I do! These looks incredible. I am LOVING the fresh zing of pineapple over that juicy pork. On my to do list friend!
Thanks so much Jess! The pineapple really sets it off!
I love tropical salsas, and pineapple is one of favorites! This on a taco is amazing, tacos are always a hit! Every day can be a Taco Tuesday at my house 🙂 And the fact that the pork is made in a slow cooker is such a bonus!
Thank you Melanie! It does make this taco such a cinch to pull together!
Guuuurl, we must be on the save wavelength! I just made slow cooker pulled pork last night for dinner along with mango salsa, haha. Your pineapple salsa looks ahhh-mazing, by the way. Especially with the fresh mint. I’ve got to try it soon! 🙂
Haha, I thought it was so funny when I saw your mango salsa! Great minds! Thanks Elaina!
