Slow cooker Mexican pulled pork, a perfect recipe for people new to the kitchen and seasoned chefs alike.

It’s also a terrific source of B vitamins, iron and protein. Prepared in a slow cooker or crock pot, the rich flavors of this dish are able to develop without heating up your home and driving up your utility bill.
