I love trying new things, especially when it’s a new easy slow cooker recipe, and it makes cooking dinner faster, and easier than before. Tweaking a few of my favorite slow cooker pork recipes, I came up with my Slow Cooker Korean Street Taco recipe. Fusion cooking at its best!
I love my slow cooker, not only does it free me up from the kitchen but the slow cooking process does a great job of cooking this recipe and many more!
Making this dish couldn’t have been easier.
Depending upon the type of roast you use, your creation can be ready in 4-6 hours on high heat or 8 hours on low. The slow cooker frees up your day to work on the house or do a little shopping before the main event. What could be easier?
You can use flour tortillas or corn tortillas for my Korean Inspired Pork Street Tacos. Or better yet set up a taco station with both kinds of tortillas and any additional toppings you may care to add.
Serve up these flavorful Street Tacos with your favorite sides, like my Korean Style Slaw and my Black Beans and Rice. Be creative and have fun mixing and matching flavors creating your own special brand of fusion street tacos.

Hi this sounds great. However, I like to make my own sauce. Any suggestions for making a sauce instead of using something pre-packaged? Thanks!
Chef Dennis Littley
I just updated the recipe with ingredients for the barbecue sauce.
Kim | a little lunch
Dennis, I had plain ol’ roast pork on my menu for tonight’s dinner, but this sounds much more interesting and flavorful! Every time I read your posts/recipes I do a “mental grocery list” in my head and do the happy dance when I have all or most of the ingredients. (Just need cabbage and Feta — nice touch — and Campbell’s slow cooker sauce!) Thank you.
Chef Dennis Littley
thanks Kim, it was delicious, but there’s nothing wrong with a plain ol’ roast pork!
