• Ready In: 7hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 29.58 ml chopped fresh oregano
• 14.79 ml ground cumin
• 9.85 ml dried ancho chile powder
• 9.85 ml salt
• 9.85 ml ground black pepper
• olive oil
• 14.79 ml white wine vinegar
• 1360.77 g boneless pork loin roast
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

directions

1. Place the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, chile pepper, salt, and pepper into a blender. Pour in the olive oil and vinegar. Puree until smooth. Spread this mixture all over the pork loin, and place into a slow cooker.
2. Cook on low until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours. (If you need to speed it up, you can substitute 1 hour at high for two of the hours on low. Do this at the beginning, though, not the end.)
3. When ready, cut the pork into chunks, or shred; garnish with lime wedges to serve.

Wow! This was GREAT! 5 stars is not enough! I used the leftovers to make soft tacos. I sliced and cubed the leftover pork roast into 1 inch pieces. I sauteed very thinly sliced onions and 2 cloves of minced garlic, then added the leftover pork roast. I added some of the liquid the roast cooked in, and simmered until the pork was falling apart. I topped the mixture with homemade pico de gallo and shredded cheese in warmed corn tortillas and served with pinto beans. Delicious!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
