A great way to use up leftover pork. I had some carnitas in the fridge, and this was the perfect recipe to use them in.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less adobo sauce.

The pork was a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid to the slow cooker.

Couldn't find guajillo chiles, so I used ancho chiles instead. Still turned out great!

Loved the unique combination of flavors. The pineapple and adobo sauce gave the pork a delicious tanginess.
