Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chipotle Pork Loin is deliciously flavorful and so easy-to-make. Sure to be a family dinner favorite. By Mama Maggie’s Kitchen

Somewhere in my not-so-fond childhood memories, I remember my mom burning the beans. The house was smoky. The neighbors even came over to see if we were ok. By now you all know, we’re Mexican, and Mexico can be slightly behind the times. We never used the dishwasher in the kitchen. The microwave? Oh no, it is going to give you cancer, my mom used to say. It wasn’t until I went off to college that I learned the magic of the slow cooker. All the kids had one in their dorms, and I had to have one. To the inventor of this time saving favorite, women and men (especially at the fire department by my mom’s house) thank you. Recently, I made Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chipotle Pork Loin. It was a delicious family meal.

The other day I was looking at recipes in Spanish, and I thought of a brilliant idea for a recipe: Loma de Cerdo con Miel de Chipotle y Limón. When I looked for it in English, there it was: Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chipotle Pork Loin. It was one of those DUH moments. Of course someone else has created it… I’m not reinventing the wheel, but this savory and sweet dish will make you wish for seconds. Place the seared pork loin on a bed of sliced onions.

From here, you add all the remaining ingredients and set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours. How easy was that?! You can make this on the stove as well. Just make sure you don’t send out smoke signals to the local tribe like my mom used to do. Haha.

The beauty of this Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chipotle Pork Loin is that it is wonderfully flavorful and so easy-to-make. You have to let the pork cool slightly before slicing it. Don’t these thick slices of yumminess look amazing?! Serve with a salad and white rice. Or add corn tortillas to make tacos. YUM!

    I don’t have a microwave now, but I do love my slow cooker! And I don’t think we could resist shredding up this pork to make tacos with all the lovely flavors you’ve added.

    I slow cook often, but never done a pork loin before. Bet it’s super tender!

      My favorite part is the juice it renders in the slow cooker. So yummy!
