1packagetaco seasoning(recommend: Old El Paso)
2oranges
½teaspoonground black pepper
15.5ouncestomato salsa
Juice of 1 lime
Slider buns or dinner rolls
Garnish:
Mexican crema or sour cream
Cilantro

Instructions
Rub the Boston butt all over with the contents of the 25% less sodium Old El Paso taco seasoning packet. Place the roast in a slow cooker. Cut the oranges into chunks and place them in the slow cooker with the roast. Add the black pepper.
Cook 4 to 6 hours or until roast is tender and falling apart.
Remove the roast to a cutting board and “pull” with two forks into shreds, removing excess fat as you work.
Return the roast to the slow cooker, or a skillet on the stovetop, and add the salsa and lime juice. Stir well to combine. Cook until the salsa is heated through.
Assemble the sliders - place about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture on the bottom of a slider bun or dinner roll. Top with Mexican crema or sour cream, fresh cilantro, and pickled jalapeno slices.

This recipe makes a lot of sliders! You can top these delicious little sliders with any of your favorite taco toppings. Cheese, taco sauce, and pico de gallo are all good on these. Also, try this mixture on split cornbread muffins instead of slider buns or rolls. Delicious!
