So, I figure there are two types of people out there. People who are Team Chipotle and people who are Team Qdoba. What team are you on?
I’m Team Qdoba. Their queso is pretty fab, so they win by default. If Chipotle would get on the cheese sauce bandwagon, it’d probably tip the scales in their favor. But, since they haven’t, Qdoba is my drug of choice. I pretty much always order the naked burrito with ground sirloin, queso, and lots of guac. I could eat it every day.
So anyway, my husband called from work the other day to ask what was for dinner.
“Homemade Qdoba,” I answered. Hello. I’m awesome. I made burrito bowls at home!
“Homemade Qdoba? Maybe tomorrow we can have cheeseburgers and you can call it Homemade McDonalds,” he responded.
Dude. Who does he think he is? He can’t just make fun of me like that. I mean, yes, some people might just call this a burrito bowl, but I call it homemade Qdoba. Don’t hate.
Anyway, I got a little crazy and made this amazing pulled pork that took just two ingredients and was cooked in the crockpot. I love easy dinners like this! I shredded the pork and served it in a bowl with rice, queso, salsa, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Mix everything up together and it’s basically the most delicious meal ever. This pulled pork is also great in tacos or traditional burritos!
I cooked this in my Ninja Cooking System…it’s basically a slow cooker on steroids, you guys. You can roast, bake, slow cook, and sear all in one appliance. I’m really loving using this tool and have been slow cooking up a storm since getting it. More recipes to come soon! (I did receive the Ninja Cooking System free of charge, but all opinions are my own and I received no other compensation for writing about their product.)

This was so easy and so delicious! I needed something simple for a weeknight dinner, and I figured even if it was just okay, at least it was quick to throw together before work. BUT this was so much more than just okay-it was amazing! My whole family loved it. Thank you for sharing this!Reply

There is nothing better than QDOBA pulled pork…..NOTHING. I just recently tried the only ‘copy cat’ recipe that I could find online….and while it was tasty, it is NO WHERE NEAR the fantastic taste of QDOBA’s. So I’m searching again for the closest thing to theirs. I will definitely give this a try, but am thinking the ingredient list is short of turning out such a fantastic pulled portk as QDOBA’s. I am a Qdoba pork taco addict !!

I found this salsa by accident a few years ago, and like you are a fan of Qdoba naked burritos with queso and guac. I put half jar in bottom with a 1/2 cup water, then scored the top of the pork loin criss cross style about 1/2 inch deep. Pour the rest of the salsa verde on top and cook as you directed. It is sooo wonderful!
Today I am trying out the Pace Pineapple Salsa to make the pulled pork.
Will let you know how it comes out!PS: This also works great with chicken breast!

@Lindsay Thornhill,
I just cooked rice according to package directions this time, but this cilantro lime rice also works well: http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2010/03/14/cilantro-lime-rice/

This recipe was incredible! The only thing I changed was to add some water because there wasn’t enough liquid and the bottom of the crock started to burn. (Maybe because I used a chunky salsa verde?) Loved it and would definitely make again.
