SLOW COOKER PORK TACOS & CORN SLAW

February 20, 2015

Picture this. Every Saturday I handwrite all the ingredients I need for the week onto a piece of notebook paper. Then, I arrive at the grocery store. Did I remember a pen? Maybe. I go to one of the cashiers and coerce them to let me borrow one. Maybe this makes me old fashioned, but I like this method anyway. I know there are many great grocery apps, but something about the traditional pad of paper to write things you need on during the week is really good and homestyle to me.

And there is just something so satisfying about crossing something out with a pen that clicking a check box in the Reminders app does not give me. Personally, I am keeping the non-digital around. (And I could say more about how not interested in e-readers I am.)

This dinner came together very easily. It occurred to me I did not have the enchilada sauce I needed, but this homemade recipe is very simple and you can whip it up quickly with ingredients already in your pantry I think. Making a trip to the grocery store for one item, that gets to me.

    I see black beans in the photos, but don’t see them in the recipe. Am I missing it? Are they added in the slow cooker? Thank you – looks delicious!

    this looks amazing!! i don’t eat a lot of mexican food because I am allergic to cilantro. Can parsley be an OK sub for cilantro in the slaw?
