  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 can (16 oz) Old El Paso™ Traditional Refried Beans
  • 8 ounces VELVEETA™ Mexican Cheese loaf (from 16 oz. box), cubed

  • 3/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 3/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps

  • 1
    If pork is tied, remove strings or netting. Place pork in 3- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning mix. Top with beans.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
  • 3
    Remove pork from cooker; place on cutting board. Shred pork, using 2 forks. Return pork to cooker and mix well. Stir in cheese.

    To serve, cut muffins crosswise in half. Place each bottom half on plate; top with 1/2 cup pork mixture, 1 tablespoon lettuce, 1 tablespoon tomato and muffin top. Serve with sour cream; sprinkle with cilantro.

  • This recipe also tastes delicious served in hard or soft shell tacos. Just omit the corn muffins.
  • If you like it really hot, use hot Mexican-style process cheese in place of the mild.
  • Make your evening meal a success by baking corn muffins the night before or purchasing them ahead of time.
