Crockpot Pulled Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa and Chipotle Lime Crema
Deliciously pulled pork seasoned with adobo is topped with a fresh pineapple salsa and drizzled with a chipotle lime crema. These Crockpot Pulled Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa are insanely delicious! Taco Tuesday, anyone?
Our family loves tacos. A LOT. I especially love tacos when I can make the meat in the crockpot (if it makes my life easier, I am in!). These tacos combine savory pulled pork with a bright and fresh pineapple, cilantro and jalapeño salsa. Top them off with my chipotle lime crema and you are good to go!
One of the nice things with tacos is that they are very easy to customize. When I give these tacos to my kids, I skip putting on the chipotle lime crema and take a scoop of the pineapple salsa that doesn’t have jalapeño in it.

What Kind of Pineapple Should I Use?
Since there are so many different flavor profiles in these tacos, it doesn’t matter as much whether or not you use fresh or canned pineapple. Fresh pineapple is always going to be better but with it, comes a little more work. So, if you have the time, cut the fresh pineapple. If you don’t have time, canned pineapple is just fine.
Chipotle Lime Crema Ingredients
- plain greek yogurt
- lime
- chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- skim milk
- sugar
- salt
Can you freeze Crockpot Pulled Pork?
Yes! Whenever I make this recipe, I always double the crock-pot pulled pork recipe so that I can freeze any leftovers. Whatever is left from our dinner, I put it in freezer Ziploc bag (it freezes really well). Then, the next time we want to have these tacos for dinner, it is super easy to pull the pork out of the freezer and just make the salsa!
