Mexican Pulled Pork

My favorite easy way to cook pork for burritos or taco filling. I prefer using a slow cooker for this so I don't have to watch it. If you do it on the stove top, be careful not to burn it. Simmer slowly, stir frequestly. It will take about 3-4 hours on the stove or 6-8 in the crockpot.

• Ready In: 6 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 3  lbs  lean pork, cut into 2-3-inch pieces
• 2  tablespoons  cooking oil
• 2  large onions, chopped
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
• 3 -6  fresh chili peppers, chopped (havanero or jalapeno depending on the level of heat desired)
• 3  bay leaves
• 1  tablespoon ground cumin
• 1  tablespoon ground oregano
• 1 -2  cup water

Directions

1. Heat oil in large pan until hot.
2. Add pork, stir until browned.
3. Add onion, garlic and chilies, cook and stir until onions are tender.
4. Add all spices and stir.
5. Add enough water to just cover meat.
6. Put in crock-pot on Hi for 6-8 hours until meat shreds. (You can help it by pulling meat apart with forks or by pressing meat onto side of pan when almost done.).
7. If not using crock-pot, simmer on top of stove on low heat for 3-4 hours until meat shreds, adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.
8. Serve with taco shells or as burritos with beans, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
