Made this last night and it was excellent! Cooked the roast in the oven since we don’t have a slow cooker – my first time cooking a pork roast. Served on corn tortillas with extra cilantro, black olives, fresh tomatoes, and FODY salsa. I would have added a bit of avocado if I had some. Thank you for the recipe! PS: I think this would make great nachos, though as a nutritionist I’m not sure if you endorse those! 😀

Thanks for sharing, Robin! Your tacos sound amazing, and agree, nachos would be delish! P.S. I believe any (tolerated) food can fit into a healthy, balanced lifestyle. 🙂

what would be a good side to serve with this?
– rice?
Emily says
Hi Christen! Yes, it goes great with Cilantro Lime Rice or other rice. You could also serve it over salad greens with low FODMAP salsa or in corn tortillas for tacos.

Emily,
You don’t mention to add a liquid to the slow cooker with the pork roast. No liquid is needed?
Emily says
Hi Carol! Great question! You should not need to add any liquid, as long as the roast you choose has some visible fat. My go-to’s are shoulder or butt roast. I will add that info into the recipe. Thanks for the question!
Carol Ayars says
Ok. Thank you Emily for clearing that up. This recipe sounds easy and fun to be able to make tacos with so I hope to try it.
Emily says
Awesome! Let us know how it goes if you try it. 🙂
