Slow Cooker Cochinita Pibil Tacos

Cochinita Pibil is tender, deeply-flavored Mexican pulled pork. Its unique, earthy flavor comes from two places; the marinade, which is made from annatto paste, GOYA® Naranja Agria – Bitter Orange Marinade, and a medley of other spices; and herbaceous banana leaves that envelop the marinated pork as it slowly cooks. While Cochinita Pibil is traditionally cooked low and slow in an in-ground oven, here, a slow cooker simplifies the process to similar delicious results. Serve the pork in mini tortillas along with pickled red onions for an authentic taste of Mexico.
