Ingredients

  • 850 grams Pork Tenderloin
  • 1/2 Cup Pineapple Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 Cup Walden Farms Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp No-Sugar Added Ketchup
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped or grated
  • 2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 4 Tbsp Sambal Oelek
  • 2  Cups Fresh Pineapple Chunks (or 1 can pineapple chunks)
  • 1/4 Cup Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Lime (juice from the lime)
  • 255 grams Broccoli Slaw
  • 1/2 Cup Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the pork, pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ketchup, garlic, ginger, 3 tbsp sambal oelek, and 1 cup pineapple chunks. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Once done cooking, switch the slow cooker to high. Cook, uncovered for 30 minutes, to thicken the sauce slightly. 

  2. Preheat the broiler to high. Remove the pork from the sauce to a baking sheet. Lightly shred, then transfer to the broiler. Broil for a couple minutes until the pork caramelizes. Watch closely!

  3. Stir the caramelized meat back into the sauce. 

  4. Meanwhile, make the yum yum sauce. Combine the remaining tbsp samba oelek with the yogurt and lime juice. Season with salt. This is the "yum yum" sauce. Stir in the broccoli slaw, remaining 1 cup pineapple chunks and cilantro into the yum yum sauce.

  5. Stuff the pork and slaw into the warmed tortillas. Enjoy!
