Carnitas (Mexican Pork) My Way (Crock Pot)

I made this to go in burritos with beans and rice http://www.recipezaar.com/Pinto-Beans-and-Rice-in-a-Crock-Pot-Or-on-Stove-Top-41246 Very simple, flavorful pork would be good on nachos also!

• Ready In: 6 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2 -3  lbs  pork roast
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt (can you garlic and or onion salt instead)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cilantro or 1⁄2 teaspoon  coriander
• 1  cup water (broth works fine too)
•  flour tortilla
•  shredded cheese
•  shredded lettuce
•  avocado
•  tomatoes
•  salsa
•  sour cream
•  rice and  beans

Directions

1. Mix all of the spices together and sprinkle most on the roast, reserving about 1 tsp.
2. Put the roast and water/broth in a crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.
3. Now you can do 2 things here: remove the roast, drain the liquid, put the roast back in the crock, shred it with the remaining seasonings and about 1/2 cup of water and stir OR.
4. remove a little of the liquid from the pot and shred the meat (with forks) in the remaining liquid and taste and season if necessary.
5. *if I use a roast with a good amount of fat I usually drain it to drain off some of that grease, if it's lean then I use the liquid it cooked in.
6. Serve it up! It makes great burritos (get the big tortillas!) with all the fixins- including the beans and rice.
