Notes
- Choose pork tenderloins that are pinkish-red in color with some marbling for the best flavor and tenderness. Avoid pieces that look dry or have dark spots.
- Pork tenderloin is a relatively lean cut of meat, so be careful not to overcook it. Check the tenderness at 4 hours and continue cooking only if necessary. Overcooking can result in dry meat.
- Shred the pork in the crock pot so it can absorb the cooking juices and salsa, which keeps it moist and flavorful.
- Tortillas and toppings are not including in the nutritional information.
