Pork Tacos

 My family loves tacos. . .bean, beef, fish, pork.  They are so simple, yet satisfying.  Here's a recipe for pork tacos that is super easy, healthy, and great for leftovers.  It cooks all day long in the crockpot-no heating up the house and smells great when you get home in the evening.  Recipe should be doubled if serving more than 4-5 people. 
Pork Tacos

1 pork tenderloin
1/2 jar of pepperoncini (banana) peppers with juices
1/2 cup water
cumin, chili pepper to taste

Wash, dry and trim fat from pork tenderloin.  Rub tenderloin with cumin and chili powder .  Put pork in a crock pot and dump peppers with juice on top.  Can use whole jar if you like it spicy.  Add a bit of water (1/2 cup or so).  Cover and cook all day long (6-8 hours on low).  Shred with 2 forks when done. 
Serve pork on top of corn tortillas (warmed), with cotija or feta cheese, avocado slices or guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
