Slow Cooker Sweet Potato and Pulled Pork Tacos

It might only be Tuesday, but with a busy week like this one, I’ve been searching for a quick and easy dinner recipe. I dusted off my slow cooker and made some yummy, hearty tacos that will feed a crowd! (Or just us, all week-long!)

A little bit of spice, a handful of veggies and lots of fresh toppings, these tacos are just the thing to make weeknight dinner delicious again.

The pork and sweet potato mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead, heated up and topped with your favorite fresh toppings. It’s also great served over cooked rice.
