📖 Instructions

1. **Make the Coffee Rub:** In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Pro tip: Use a mortar and pestle for an even finer grind, which will help the rub adhere better to the pork.
2. **Prepare the Pork:** Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Generously rub the coffee mixture all over the pork, ensuring it's evenly coated. Really massage the rub in – this helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
3. **Slow Cook the Pork:** Place the rubbed pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth around the pork, being careful not to wash off the rub. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds. The internal temperature should reach around 203°F (95°C).
4. **Make the Pineapple Salsa:** While the pork is cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you want less spice, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño. If you are looking for more spice add a bit more jalapeño!
5. **Shred the Pork:** Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork. Using two forks, shred the pork. Discard any large pieces of fat.
6. **Assemble the Tacos:** Warm the tortillas according to package instructions. Fill each tortilla with the shredded coffee-rubbed pulled pork and top with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
7. **Serve and Enjoy:** Serve the Coffee-Rubbed Pulled Pork Tacos immediately and watch them disappear. They are fantastic with a side of black beans and rice, or even a simple green salad. Feel free to add other toppings like pickled onions, avocado, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. Remember the most important thing is that you enjoy the tacos that you worked so hard to make.
