1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth, or as needed
3 each limes, quartered
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Trim and discard fat from pork roast. Place pork in a slow cooker and add chicken broth until pork is 75% covered with liquid. Add quartered limes, onion, garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours, until pork can easily be shredded. Pull pork apart with 2 forks and remove and discard any additional fat. Transfer shredded pork to a pot.
Place pot on the stovetop and add salsa, green chiles, and 2 cups liquid from the slow cooker. Bring to a light boil. Add cumin, reduce heat to low, and simmer for at least 20 minutes.
