Jamaican Jerk Pulled Pork Tostadas are not only delicious, but easy to make thanks to your CrockPot! I also baked my corn tortillas to make this dish a little on the healthier side. Top your tostadas with Sharp LIGHT Cheddar Cabot Cheese for a creamy cheese topping that is half the fat!
I have been enjoying sharing a dinner recipe with all of you each week! I hope this is something YOU, my readers, are enjoying as well.
And, of course, I once again bring you a slow cooker meal. As I’ve said before, my slow cooker is used the majority of week nights in our house. And pork tenderloins are perfect to put in your slow cooker. This recipe can be ready in 6 hours…or keep it in your slow cooker for up to 10 hours. No harm done (as long as you don’t release the lid seal, that keeps the moisture in your slow cooker). Which is perfect for those of you who want to put it in first thing in the morning and leave it alone all day while at work!
When you are ready to eat, bake your tortillas (only 10 minutes in the oven) and assemble. I like to bake my tortillas, it makes them crunchy and healthy. Plus it’s less messy. But if you want, feel free to fry them in a skillet of oil. We also topped ours with Cabot Sharp Light Cheddar Cheese, it’s so smooth and melts very nicely for a light cheese!

Isn’t the crock pot wonderful! You just can’t get that tender fall apart meat any other way. I also like the Jamaican twist you gave to tostadas. That’s a delicious dinner.

Looks like we both had pulled pork on the brain! I just posted a pulled pork sandwich last night. lol I love that yours are jerk flavored AND tostadas. Pork tenderloins cook so much faster, and that’s always a good thing!

Amazing flavors, Aimee! We love pulled pork and I’m intrigued by using a tenderloin, I usually use a pork butt. This sounds so good!
Cassie | Bake Your Day recently posted..Meal Planning 101
As long as you keep the lid on, it retains the moisture and will result in a nice, tender pulled pork! I but my tenderloins at Costco so I always have some in my freezer!
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Jamaican Jerk Pulled Pork Tostadas
I love the flavors here, Aimee!! Jerk chicken is one of our favorite way of enjoying tostadas — since we do not eat much pork

And on behalf of the 1200+ farm families who own Cabot, thanks so much for the mention!! We’re glad you’re enjoying the Light Cheddar (it’s one of my faves too
Where can I find the jamaican jerk seasoning? This sounds very yummy!
McCormick has a Caribbean jerk seasoning that would work just fine. Some grocery stores carry other brands of Jamaican Jerk too.
ENJOY
