Jamaican Jerk Pulled Pork Tostadas: easy slow cooker dinner idea that's delicious and healthy! #slowcooker #dinner www.shugarysweets.com

Have you tried Jerk Pulled Pork yet? The recipe I’m sharing today cooks in the CrockPot with a jerk seasoning that can only be described as “perfection.

Pulled pork in the slow cooker is nothing revolutionary.

If you own a Crock Pot and have spent some time online scouring for recipes, chances are more than stellar that you’ve come across plenty of pulled pork recipes by now.

Cooking meat over the course of several hours recreates the classic pit-cooked BBQ method for making pulled pork so well.

Few of us have an entire barbecue pit in our backyards for making kalua pork, so the Crock Pot is the ideal preparation method for home cooks.

What is Jamaican Jerk?

In Jamaica, jerk cooking involves rubbing meats with a spicy seasoning blend known as “jerk seasoning.”

This hot and sweet spice mix usually includes cinnamon or nutmeg (often both) along with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, allspice and tons of herbs.

Its flavor is like no other I’ve tried. The perfect balance of herby and spicy with a sweet fragrance and no hint of sharpness that other spice blends sometimes have. I’m obsessed with the flavor it gives meat, especially, pulled pork.

These days, you can find ready made jerk seasoning at most grocery stores. I picked up a fresh jar to use with some pork I had in my fridge. The plan? Slow Cooker Jamaican Pulled Pork!

You can also use a homemade jamaican jerk seasoning too!

To assemble the tostadas: Scoop a ladle full of the jerk pulled pork onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, then add lettuce, diced tomato or your other favorite tostada toppings.

We use light cheddar cheese here, but regular cheddar, Monterrey Jack or a Mexican shredded cheese blend is a delicious too.

Other Serving Ideas

I can’t get enough of this pulled pork, in tostada form or otherwise. This meat is also amazing served as . . .

Tacos – Fill flour or corn tortillas with pork and taco toppings like lettuce, cheese, and guacamole.
Burritos – Stuff large flour tortillas with the pork, along with rice and beans, if desired.
Bowls – Serve the pork over rice or all on its own in a bowl topped with lettuce, tomato and diced red onion.
Sandwiches – Toasted Kaiser rolls, hamburger buns or your other favorite sandwich bread make delicious vehicles for pulled pork too.
Salads – Add cold or hot to mixed greens with your favorite dressing.

Storing

Any leftover pork can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for several days. Reheat before serving, draining off any excess grease that’s collected in the container.
