EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use bottled lime juice from the grocery section of the supermarket; it’s more economical than using fresh.

When fresh pineapple is in season and budget friendly, use it instead of the canned pineapple.

This is one of my favorite dishes to make for the family. It is always a huge hit. I like a lot of pineapple so I use a 20oz can of pineapple tidbits.

I admit I was relucant to try this recipe but I think it's my new FAVORITE taco recipe. It is REALLY YUMMY and so easy. I did add a can of chicken broth to cook the meat in then decided to go ahead and not drain any of it when adding the pineapple and lime juice. So good didn't need any toppings except some cheese. Gotta try it to believe it. You won't be disappointed

Sounds good, but don't you need to put some liquid over the roast when you put it in the slow cooker? I thought you always had to put some type of liquid over what ever you were cooking in it.
