Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 3-1/2 to 4 pound pork shoulder, rinsed and cleaned
1 16 oz jar mild salsa
1 package corn or flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) and rub all over with the seasoning mixture.
  • Pour the jar of salsa around the pork shoulder.
  • Cook on low heat for 8-12 hours.
  • Remove the pork to a plate and using 2 forks, shred the into bite size pieces (I like to remove the visible pieces of fat).
  • Pour a scoop or two of the juices into the pork and stir to combine (If you want to remove the excess fat from the juice you will use, pour it into a cup and refrigerate it until the fat solidifies and can be easily scooped out. Only the juices will remain).
  • Place the pork into the tortillas.
  • Serve with desired accompaniments.
